The Strange Miracle Behind the Real Saint Nick

Most people know Saint Nicholas as the distant inspiration for Santa Claus… but here’s the part almost no one talks about: Inside his tomb, a mysterious liquid still seeps from his bones. Every year, caretakers extract this clear fluid — called “the manna of Saint Nicholas” — which is then diluted and sold to believers who see it as a blessing, a relic, even a miracle. This tradition has been going on for centuries, long before Coca-Cola turned Saint Nick into a jolly man in red. What fascinates me isn’t just the legend — it’s the fact that the phenomenon continues today. A historical figure from the 3rd and 4th centuries leaving behind a tomb that still produces something people consider sacred? It’s eerie, ancient, and oddly beautiful all at once. Whether you’re religious, skeptical, or just curious, it’s wild to think that the man who inspired Santa Claus is still — quite literally — giving gifts. #Funny #Interesting
