Researchers have used forensic methods to produce images of the man who Santa Claus is based on.
Saint Nicholas of Myra lived over 1,700 years ago. According to accounts of his life, he was very kind and generous and this inspired the idea of Santa Claus – the man who delivers gifts to children all around the world at Christmas.
Scientists created 3D images of Saint Nicholas’s face using data from his skull.
