OCR Text	Show Body of St. Nicholas Buried at Bari, Italy The body of Santa Claus otherwise other-wise St. Nicholas, the onetime bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, is buried at Bari, Italy. The body was stolen from its original tomb in Myra by Italian sailors in 1087 and taken to Bari. Europeans in those days thought that a saint's body brought prosperity pros-perity and good luck to the town where it was buried. For that reason it was stolen from Myra.
