Does Santa really exist? Who is Santa
4hw.com.cn: Although there is no Christmas in China, everyone knows the story of Santa Claus. Every Christmas, there is such an old man with white beard in red who sends gifts everywhere. Many people don't find Santa Claus until they grow up? But the fact is that Santa Claus does exist. Let's have a look!
Christmas is approaching. The remains of St. Nicholas, a Christian saint who is regarded as Santa Claus's' real body ', have not been confirmed. A researcher at the University of Oxford, UK, earlier tested the remains of St. Nicholas, which showed that they came from the 4th century, just in line with the time of St. Nicholas's death.
It is believed that St. Nicholas died in 343, and the British researchers tested one of the pelvis and confirmed that its owner died in the 4th century, which is just consistent. Professor Tom highham said that such tests often show that the time is later than the calculation, but this result shows that this bone is likely to come from St. Nicholas himself, The research team is very excited about this discovery.
It is believed that about 500 bones of St. Nicholas are currently stored in Venice, Italy, and this test is owned by the American priest Dennis O'Neill. However, earlier, a Turkish archaeological team found a 'secret crevice' in a church in the southern city of Antalya, which is suspected to contain the real Tomb of St. Nicholas.
