I 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/
