For those of you, who wonder why St. Nicolas of Myra, a Turkish born Christian Saint, who has never been to Bari and might never have left his corner of Turkey at all, is also known as St. Nicolas of Bari, listen up. A group of merchants from the Italian city of Bari removed the major bones of Nicholas's skeleton from his sarcophagus in the St. Nicolas Church in Myra (today's Demre) without authorization and brought them to their hometown, where they are now enshrined in the Basilica di San Nicola. The remaining bone fragments from the sarcophagus were later removed by Venetian sailors and taken to Venice during the First Crusade.

The Basilica of San Nicola (Basilica of Saint Nicholas of Myra) is a church in Bari in southern Italy with the title of a papal basilica. The church was built between 1087 and 1106 to house the relics of the saint brought from Myra to Bari, and is still an important pilgrimage destination for Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians. The basilica was the first church of its kind in Apulia and served as a model for many later religious buildings in the region. The basilica was built between 1087 and 1197 during the Norman rule in Apulia. The foundation of the church dates back to the theft of some of the relics of Saint Nicholas by sailors from Bari from the original shrine in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Demre in modern-day Turkey. This happened against the resistance of the Orthodox monks, ostensibly to protect them from capture by the Seljuks. After disputes with Venice over the relics, Bari prevailed, and the relics were transferred to Bari on May 9, 1087, where a new church was built to house them between 1087 and 1106. The crypt was consecrated in 1089 in the presence of Pope Urban II. Elias, abbot of the nearby Benedictine abbey, where the relics were temporarily kept, was appointed the first bishop. His cathedra is still in the church today. The final consecration took place in 1197 in the presence of the Imperial Chancellor Konrad von Querfurt and a number of bishops and dignitaries. The church is entrusted to the Dominicans; in the crypt there are facilities for services in the Roman and Byzantine rites: the main altar above the relic tomb and the left side altar with an iconostasis. The tomb of Saint Nicholas is highly revered in Orthodoxy and there is a large pilgrimage movement. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilika_San_Nicola

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, whose remains have found their final resting place here in Bari, is - alongside Saint Martin - one of the most popular saints of all. His memorial day, December 6th, is probably known to almost every child in many European countries. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
