The church, a significant pilgrimage site, is believed to be the final resting place of the saint, who died in 343 AD. The newly discovered sarcophagus was found six feet deep in a two-story annexe of the church.

Researchers are hopeful that an inscription on the sarcophagus will provide crucial clues about its age and the identity of the person buried within. Historical sources suggest that Saint Nicholas was buried near the sacred area of the city of Myra, making this discovery highly significant.

While the coffin's lid has been fully unearthed, further excavations are needed to confirm its contents and determine the exact period it dates to. If confirmed as the original burial place of Saint Nicholas, this discovery could offer valuable insights into the early history of Christianity and the origins of Christmas traditions.

This groundbreaking find has captivated the world, sparking excitement and intrigue. As archaeologists delve deeper into the mystery, the world eagerly awaits the next revelation.
