Myra

Myra Hermosa, 37, grew up in the San Fernando Valley, but recently moved back to the area after living in San Diego and North Carolina for a few years.

Sitting around one blustery day as they crossed the Mediterranean on their three ships, they discussed the idea of stealing the saint’s bones when they passed Myra, where he was buried.

So the three Barese grain ships set out for Myra immediately, hoping to steal the body before the Venetians knew what was happening.

It must have been an eerie sight when they anchored at Myra.

The armed band walked back through the deserted city of Myra toward their ships.
