Relics of #StNicholas are claimed by Myra & Gemile in #Turkey, Bari & Venice in #Italy... & Newtown Jerpoint in #Ireland. He's described here as the patron saint of generosity & philanthropy, revered in both Orthodox & Catholic traditions: 📖 📹 https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2023/1206/1420473-st-nicholas-santa-claus-newtown-jerpoint-kilkenny-grave-tombstone/

Irish PhilosophyI watched #BBC #InsideNo9 "The Bones of St. Nicholas". Recommended: gorgeous church setting, a #Christmas ghost story and a dash of authentic legend.
Reminded me too of how some/all of the bones of St Nicholas are allegedly buried in #Jerpoint, Co. #Kilkenny. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20221213-is-santa-claus-buried-in-ireland
This article goes into detail about #StNicholas and his popularity in medieval #Ireland https://pilgrimagemedievalireland.com/2012/12/24/saint-nicholas-an-irish-connection/
