<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For my theological training I was blessed to study in Rome. During these years it was my great joy to visit the many shrines of Europe and to pray with the saints. Knowing that many pilgrims share this same desire, it is my goal to provide this resource to facilitate the finding of the saints in Rome and beyond. Hopefully, this site and the interactive maps will assist in this endeavor. I also look forward to any suggestions or corrections that will be useful for improving the content. Please contact me through the link on the side.</span></div>

It is recorded that he was first skinned alive and then put to death by decapitation. Five centuries later and half-way across the Mediterranean his relics were found in Lipari, Sicily. Most likely they arrived here through normal means; however, a pious tradition contends that this transfer occurred miraculously. This tradition claims that the sarcophagus of St Bartholomew was thrown into the sea by infidels. It then floated upon the water until it finally and miraculously came to the shores of the tiny island of Lipari. Regardless, how the relics arrived they remained on this island until the middle of the 9th century.

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*Following the death of her husband, St Bridget of Sweden devoted herself completely to a life of prayer and service. After founding the Bridgettine Sisters in Sweden she felt compelled to visit Rome in order to seek official approval for her community. Her visit resulted in her permanently remaining in the city for the next twenty-four years until her passing in 1373. Today a few of her relics rest within this Bridgettine convent which still to this day is occupied by members of her community. Her body was returned to Sweden shortly after her death.</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: -4.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">St Cornelius died in the Italian city of Civitavecchia in 253 AD. His remains were then transferred south to Rome and placed in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Catacombs of San Callisto</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> on the Appian Way. Five centuries later his relics, along with those of St Callistus I, were transferred to the Roman church of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Santa Maria in Trastevere</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Pope Adrian I (772-795). Pope Gregory IV (827-844) then had their remains placed under the main altar of this same church during his pontificate. From here a tradition claims that the remains of both St Cornelius and the bishop, St Cyprian, were transferred to Compiègne, France. Some of the sources conflict, however, with regard to this tradition. For instance, the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Martyrology of Ado</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> mentions the transfer of St Cyprian but not the transfer of St Cornelius. As a result two separate traditions have arisen with regard to St Cornelius’ relics. The Roman tradition holds that some of his relics still remain under the main altar in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Santa Maria in Trastevere</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. In the 18th century some of these relics were transferred to the Roman church of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Santi Celso e Giuliano</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. A sarcophagus with these relics can still be found in this church. On the other hand the highly venerated relic of St Cornelius’ head in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kornelimünster Abbey</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> near Aachen, Germany demonstrates that the purported transfer of his relics to Compiègne in the 9th century may also have credence.</span></div>

A gash on her neck recalls the miraculous events surrounding her martyrdom. Tradition claims that St Cecilia was condemned to execution first by drowning and then by decapitation. Both attempts failed. The second method, however, left her greatly wounded. The executioner struck her neck three times with a sword but being unable to sever her head fled in fear. She survived for three days, offered all she had to the poor, and then expired.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">St Cyril is believed to have discovered both an anchor and the relics of St Clement I in Crimea in 861 AD. St Cyril then carried these relics to Rome in 868 AD. He died in Rome a year later. His brother, St Methodius, wished to return the body of St Cyril to his homeland in Thessalonica; however, Pope Adrian II would not allow this. As a result the body of St Cyril was kept in Rome and buried in the Basilica of San Clemente, the same church where he had deposited the relics of St Clement I a year prior. The remains of St Cyril remained in this church until their removal and disappearance during the French establishment of the Roman Republic in the late 18th century. In the 1960’s, a fortunate discovery by an Irish Dominican led to the retrieval of a small relic of St Cyril. This relic is now within this church as noted below.</span></div>

In the 8th century his remains were removed from Constantinople and brought to Rome by a group of Basilian nuns who were escaping the Iconoclastic persecutions in the East. These nuns were given residence in the Campo Marzio district just north of the Pantheon in Rome. They then placed the remains of St Gregory Nazianzen within their church.</span></div>

They then reconvened at this same church after the Council to announce the newly formulated Nicene Creed. Constantine was in attendance for this. The large painting on the left side of the nave created in 1640 recalls one of these meetings. However, this tradition is often tied to the ‘Symmachian Forgeries’ thus throwing some doubt on its credibility. Nevertheless, it does seem probable that some agreement was achieved between Constantine and St Sylvester I that allowed for the success of the Council of Nicaea.</span></div>

During the 6th century they were transferred from Constantinople to Rome by Pope Pelagius I (d. 561). In 1873, as excavations commenced below the central altar, their relics were unearthed.

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Several different traditions account for the translation of St Lucy’s remains. The first claims that the Duke of Spoleto, Faroald II, transferred her remains to a small city in central Italy. From here they were taken to Metz, France by Otto I in 972 AD. This tradition then seems to end here as the whereabouts of these relics are unknown today. A separate tradition claims that the Byzantine General, Giorgio Maniace, transferred the relics in 1038 AD from Syracuse to Constantinople. With the fall of Constantinople in 1204 these relics were then transferred to Venice, Italy. They remained here throughout the following centuries occasionally being transferred to different churches within the city. In 1860 they were brought to their present location within the parish church of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">San Geremia</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Since this final transfer, however, her remains have been desecrated on two separate occasions. The most recent occurred in November of 1981 when two individuals stole the body of St Lucy from this church. Gratefully one month later her body was returned to this church on her feast day.</span></div>

Historians believe that the body of St Nicholas was originally buried in this grave and then subsequently transferred to Myra. From Myra the bones of St Nicholas were stolen by Italian merchants in 1087 and taken to the two Italian cities of Bari and Venice. The merchants from Bari raided the tomb first and in their haste they took only the large bone fragments. The Venetian merchants came later and took the remaining smaller bone fragments. A scientific study in 1992 confirmed that both collections are from the same skeleton.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">St Luke is believed to have died in Thebes, Greece during the latter part of the first century. Records then indicate the transfer of his remains to Constantinople in the fourth century. From here one theory suggests that his remains were transferred to Padua during the Iconoclastic persecutions in the 8th century. Documented proof of their presence in Padua surfaces by the year 1177 when a tomb is unearthed next to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Santa Giustina</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> bearing the symbols of St Luke.

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*The body of St Luke rests within the left transept of this church. A recent study upon these relics was conducted at the request of Archbishop Antonio Mattiazzo of Padua in 1998. This study determined that these relics are of an individual that would fit the description of St Luke.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: -4.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*A decorated tomb within the right transept of this church is dedicated to St Matthias. Apart from the beautiful inscription upon the tomb which in Latin reads “Sors cecidit super Mathiam” the church provides no signage to support the presence of the apostle’s relics within the tomb. This is somewhat striking since directly across from his tomb the church explains in great detail the relics of St Luke. Some, nevertheless have argued that these relics of St Matthias were brought to Padua in the 8th century at about the same time as the arrival of St Luke’s relics. This tradition, however, conflicts with the even older tradition of St Helena who in the 4th century is said to have acquired the relics of St Matthias and distributed them to both Rome, Italy and Trier, Germany.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*St Aloysius Gonzaga was raised in this city at his family’s castle. Despite this lofty upbringing he decided to renounce his worldly inheritance in favor of a life as a Jesuit. During his formation in Rome he was never lacking in charity and often spent many hours caring for the sick. On one such occasion he himself contracted the plague. Shortly thereafter at the tender age of twenty-three he passed away. His skull was eventually given to one of his brothers and returned to his family’s castle. Today this relic rests above the main altar of the church located here.</span></div>

It was during this time that St Augustine (d. 430) heard St Ambrose’s powerful preaching and became attracted to the Christian faith. Today the body of St Ambrose, dressed in white pontifical vestments, rests within an urn in the crypt of this church. Lying beside his remains are the bodies of two additional saints, the martyrs Gervasius and Protasius.</span></div>

They are placed within the statue of his likeness that rests below the main altar of this church.

It is placed in front of the beautiful funerary monument dedicated to St Apollonio on the right side of the nave. Around the year 759 this relic was given to a Benedictine community in Leno, located just south of Brescia. During the 15th century it was transferred to Brescia.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*Recently this bone has been rigorously studied in an attempt to authenticate the relics in either Monte Cassino or Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire. Documentation shows that this bone came from Montecassino in 759. This late date provides evidence that at least some relics of the saint were still preserved in Montecassino following the alleged theft in the 7th century. On the other hand, recent studies seem to indicate that the physical characteristics of this bone from Brescia do not match the Montecassino source.</span></div>

It was here in this city that he founded the Somascan Fathers with the primary mission of caring for orphans. During his feast on February 8th the Somascan Fathers present to the faithful an urn containing his skull. His bones rest behind a grate placed upon a wall within the chapel dedicated to him on the right side of the nave.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*St Peter Damian who was born in the nearby town of Ravenna always retained a strong connection to Faenza. It was here that he studied early in life and later where he founded a hermitage and a monastery. He was known in life as a reformer, a scholar, and a diplomat. He died in Faenza and his remains were interred in a monastery within this city until in 1826 they were transferred to the cathedral. They can now be found solemnly displayed within an urn in the sixth chapel on the left side of the nave.</span></div>

Nevertheless, God bestowed upon her many incredible graces by uniting her to his passion and cross. At the age of twenty-one she received the stigmata and later she would go on to experience the scourging and the crowning of thorns. She embraced all of these sufferings for the conversion of sinners. At the age of twenty-five she passed away on the afternoon of Holy Saturday after a long fight with tuberculosis.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*The only remaining relic of St Bonaventure, his right arm, rests within a chapel on the right side of the nave of this church. This relic was brought to Bagnoregio in 1491 as a gift since the saint’s birth home is in the nearby hill city of Civita di Bagnoregio. This transfer was providential because a little less than a century later, in 1562, his tomb in Lyon, France was plundered by French Huguenots and his remains were burned in the public square. During this event his incorrupt head was preserved; however, several centuries later during the French Revolution it disappeared and has remained missing ever since.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Roman Martyrology</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> St Bartholomew suffered martyrdom in the Roman province of Armenia. It is recorded that he was first skinned alive and then put to death by decapitation. Five centuries later and half-way across the Mediterranean his relics were found in Lipari, Sicily. Most likely they arrived here through normal means; however, a pious tradition contends that this transfer occurred miraculously. This tradition claims that the sarcophagus of St Bartholomew was thrown into the sea by infidels. It then floated upon the water until it finally and miraculously came to the shores of the tiny island of Lipari. Regardless, how the relics arrived they remained on this island until the middle of the 9th century. At this time they were transferred to Benevento, Italy and then in the latter part of the 10th century they were brought to Rome by the Holy Roman Emperor, Otto III, where they were interred in the church of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">San Bartolomeo all’Isola</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> on Tiber Island. This final transfer, however, is contested by the city of Benevento which continues to claim possession of the true relics of St Bartholomew.</span></div>

Also a monument upon the side-wall recalls the 2001 declaration by St John Paul II which reopened the cult of St Bartholomew in this church.</span></div>

His blood, which is sealed in a reliquary, is placed upon the altar in the second chapel on the right side of the nave. This exquisite chapel also contains fifty-one silver busts, each depicting a different saint. They were donated to this church by various guilds and ecclesial institutions in the city. The bones of St Januarius are found in the confessio below the main sanctuary. These bones, which are visible, rest within a vase below the altar in this confessio. Finally, fragments of his skull rest within a bust placed within an upper room of the museum located next to this church.</span></div>

A silver bust of the saint is processed into the crowd and eight festive obelisks and an ornamental wooden boat are blessed. The obelisks and boat harken back to a legendary story of the saint. It is said that as Barbarian tribes were invading Italy, St Paulinus offered to be taken captive in exchange for the return of a widow’s son. This action of selfless love is said to have so impressed the leader of this invading party that he chose to grant St Paulinus his freedom. St Paulinus then returned to Italy and was warmly welcomed by the people of Nola.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*In 1482 King Louis XI of France requested the presence of St Francis of Paola at his side as he neared death. St Francis was at first reluctant to accept the king’s request because he did not want to leave his native Italy. However, upon the urging of Pope Sixtus IV he acquiesced. St Francis of Paola then remained in France for the next 25 years providing counsel to the French kings. He died in 1507 and was buried in Plessis. In 1562 his tomb was forcefully opened, his incorrupt body plundered, and the majority of his relics destroyed by French Huguenots. The few bones that escaped destruction were later taken to Paola, Italy. These bones now rest within this church.</span></div>

Historians believe that the body of St Nicholas was originally buried in this grave and then subsequently transferred to Myra. From Myra the bones of St Nicholas were stolen by Italian merchants in 1087 and taken to the two Italian cities of Bari and Venice. The merchants from Bari raided the tomb first and in their haste they took only the large bone fragments. The Venetian merchants came later and took the remaining smaller bone fragments. A scientific study in 1992 confirmed that both collections are from the same skeleton.</span></div>

During this time the Blessed Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to him as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our Lady of the Pillar</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Subsequently he returned to Jerusalem where he was beheaded in 44 AD. According to tradition his relics were then returned to Spain either by angels or by Spanish disciples. The Armenian church of St James in Jerusalem honors his martyrdom and claims to possess the relic of his head.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*While visiting various religious communities in the summer of 1582, St Teresa’s health which was already weak began to worsen. Eventually she took to bed and passed away at Alba de Tormes. A great struggle then ensued between Avila and Alba de Tormes in regards to whom would receive her body. At one point her remains were transferred to Avila; however, shortly thereafter a Papal decree was issued and her body was returned to Alba de Tormes where it remains to this day within an urn above the main altar. Also preserved here, but separate from her body, are her heart and a bone from her arm.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A tradition, which developed in the 13th century, holds that after the martyrdom of St James the Greater in Jerusalem many Christians were evicted from the city and placed upon a boat without a sail or a rudder. Miraculously this group, which included Mary Magdalene, Lazarus, and Martha, reached the southern shores of France. The group then began spreading the faith in the area. A legend holds that St Lazarus was able to convert a number of people in Marseille and then became its first bishop. Later during the persecution of Domitian he was beheaded. Martha is said to have eventually made it to the city of Tarascon. The local people of this city were terrorized by a ferocious beast; therefore, to test the power of Martha’s Christian religion they challenged her to a duel with the beast. Miraculously with only a cross and some holy water Martha was able to calm the beast. As a result of this miracle the people in this town converted to Christianity. Mary Magdalene, however, chose a different path. She gave herself to a life of prayer and spent thirty years as a hermit in a cave above the present-day village of Plan-d’Aups-Sainte-Baume. A competing theory alleges that Mary Magdalene was buried in Ephesus close to the house of the Blessed Virgin Mary. From here her relics were transferred to Constantinople and then to Western Europe.</span></div>

In the 8th century her remains were unearthed and transferred to Vézelay, France. Five centuries later the King of Naples, Charles II, claimed to have found her original tomb in St Maximin. In 1281 he was able to obtain official recognition of these relics. As a result, the shrine in Vézelay lost its prominence. Then in the 16th century the relics that remained in Vézelay were burned by French Huguenots. Presently only an empty tomb and a few small relics remain within this church. They are located in the Carolingian crypt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The relics of St Andrew have played a pivotal role in the history of Scotland. Tradition claims that they first entered into the annals of Scottish history in the 4th century when they were brought to Scotland by the legendary Bishop of Patras, St Regulus. It is said that this bishop was warned in a dream by an angel that the safety of the relics were in jeopardy. He then set sail from Greece for the farthest western edges of the known world in order to protect the relics. Just off the coast of Scotland his voyage met with shipwreck and he was forced to come ashore at what is now the town of St Andrews. Despite this ancient tradition and the great historical influence that the relics of St Andrew have had upon the Scottish people the original relics met a tragic fate on June 14, 1559 when they were destroyed by supporters of the Scottish Reformation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*In recent centuries the Scottish church has been blessed to receive several relics of St Andrew to replace the original relics that had been destroyed during the Scottish Reformation. In 1879 a large portion of the shoulder of St Andrew was taken from his remains in Amalfi, Italy and brought to Scotland. Also in 1969 Pope Paul VI gave additional relics of St Andrew to the Scottish church with the words, “Peter greets his brother Andrew.” These relics of St Andrew now rest within this cathedral at an altar to the right of the main sanctuary.</span></div>

The presence of these relics are partially explained by the following sequence of events. In 1220 AD several cardinals from Rome who were present for the translation of the body of St Thomas Becket from the crypt to the main floor of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Canterbury Cathedral</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> took several small relics of St Thomas Becket back to Italy. Upon the destruction of St Thomas Becket’s shrine in 1538 these relics of the saint were preserved. In the past two centuries some of these relics and others from around Europe have been returned to Canterbury. In the 19th century the church received from Gubbio, Italy both a piece of his vestment and a bone from his body. Then in 1953 the Prior of Chevetogne, Father Thomas Becquet, presented to this church a piece of St Thomas Becket’s finger. All three of these relics are now within the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Martyr’s Chapel</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> as noted previously.</span></div>

In 1383 all of these relics, except the skull, were stolen by Duke Wilhelm I and brought to Düsseldorf, Germany. At a later date the skull was also taken and over the next few centuries transferred between several cities before its return to Remagen in 1857. It now rests within a magnificent reliquary bust placed within a large sarcophagus in the crypt of this church. Twice a year this bust is removed for the blessing of pilgrims.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Saints Cosmas and Damian suffered martyrdom during the beginning of the Diocletian persecutions around the year 287 AD. In life they were greatly respected as medical doctors who often offered their services free of charge. As a result many have adopted these two great saints as their patrons due to their connection to the medical field. In particular this was true for the powerful Medici family of Florence whose last name when translated to English means doctors. Thus Fra Angelico and other painters frequently depicted Saints Cosmas and Damian in the works commissioned by this family. (Due to the great popularity of these saints numerous shrines claim to have their relics.

The one held her bones and the other her skull. On special occasions these relics would be placed upon the ornate mausoleum pedestal which can still be seen today within the left transept of this church. However, all veneration of her relics ceased in 1539 by decree of Philip of Hesse (d. 1567). He had the relics removed and all Catholic services halted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*In 1039 Bohemia achieved a key military victory in Gniezno, the capital city of Poland. According to Bohemian tradition among the spoils of victory returned to Bohemia following this victory were the relics of St Adalbert. In the spring of 2014 a special ceremony was held to honor these relics. During this ceremony some of the relics were placed within a new ornamental-house shaped reliquary. This reliquary was then placed within the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Old Archbishop’s Chapel</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in the cathedral.

A sign in Czech located below this altar reads ‘Ostatky Svatého Vojtěcha Druhého Pražského Biskupa (982-997)’.

During the time of Jesus this city was within walking distance of Jerusalem. However, today because of the large wall separating Israel from the West Bank this walk is impossible. The tomb, nevertheless, can still be visited. It is located in the modern day city of Bethany which has been renamed Eizariya. In Arabic this means Lazarus.</span></div>

Records then indicate the transfer of his remains to Constantinople in the fourth century. From here one theory suggests that his remains were transferred to Padua during the Iconoclastic persecutions in the 8th century. Documented proof of their presence in Padua surfaces by the year 1177 when a tomb is unearthed next to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Santa Giustina</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> bearing the symbols of St Luke.

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: -4.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">St Stephen was martyred in Jerusalem shortly after the death and resurrection of Christ. The earliest tradition places the location of his martyrdom on the northern edge of the Old City where the present Damascus Gate is located. At the time of St Stephen’s death this location would have been just outside of the city walls. The Byzantines later expanded Jerusalem and named the present Damascus Gate after St Stephen to honor the location of his martyrdom. In the 16th century the Ottoman Turks rebuilt the walls and gave this gate its current name. A later tradition places the martyrdom near the Lion’s Gate on the eastern edge of the city. This tradition is commemorated by a small chapel built over a small outcropping of stone at </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">St Stephen’s Orthodox Church</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This chapel is accessed by a side entrance along the church’s northern edge. One then descends a flight of stairs to the chapel. Opening hours for this chapel are irregular. The relics of St Stephen, like the location of his martyrdom, have also been tied to various traditions. The tomb of St Stephen is said to have been miraculously discovered in Jerusalem in 415 AD through a special revelation given to a priest named Lucian. St Stephen’s relics were then placed within the now-destroyed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Church of Holy Zion</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> which was located in the south-west corner of the city. Then in 439 AD they were translated to a newly constructed Byzantine church just north of Jerusalem’s walls near the Damascus Gate.

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The body of St Gregory Nazianzen was first buried near his hometown in Cappadocia and then later transferred to Constantinople. In the 8th century his remains were removed from Constantinople and brought to Rome by a group of Basilian nuns who were escaping the Iconoclastic persecutions in the East. These nuns were given residence in the Campo Marzio district just north of the Pantheon in Rome. They then placed the remains of St Gregory Nazianzen within their church.</span></div>

St Lawrence (d. 258) was not among this group; however, a legend holds that St Lawrence was able to speak to St Sixtus just before the pope was martyred. In this conversation St Sixtus said to St Lawrence, “You shall follow me in three days.” St Lawrence then in three days went on to suffer his own martyrdom by being burnt alive on a gridiron.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">St Cyril is believed to have discovered both the anchor and the relics of St Clement I in Crimea in 861 AD. St Cyril then brought these relics to Rome during his visit in 868 AD. He died in Rome a year later. His brother, St Methodius, wished to return the body of St Cyril to his homeland in Thessalonica; however, Pope Adrian II would not allow this. As a result the body of St Cyril was kept in Rome and buried in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Basilica of San Clemente</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the same church where he had deposited the relics of St Clement I a year prior. The remains of St Cyril remained in this church until their removal and disappearance during the French establishment of the Roman Republic in the late 18th century. In the 1960’s, a fortunate discovery by an Irish Dominican led to the retrieval of a small relic of St Cyril. This relic is now within this church as noted below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">*This church is located in the Roman Forum above the Mamertine Prison. It was in this prison that the Romans incarcerated individuals of great importance. As a result a long standing tradition has placed St Peter’s imprisonment here. Such a high profile imprisonment would seem likely from today’s perspective, however, at the time of St Peter’s death his role as the leader of a little-known Jewish sect would have almost certainly been regarded as insignificant. As a result his imprisonment at this location is doubted. Nevertheless, this prison continues to actively promote tours. Within St Peter’s alleged cell is a raised ring that is believed to be the spot where a spring of water arose allowing St Peter to baptize two guards.</span></div>

This is a copy of the original that was done by Guido Reni.

This tradition, which has in modern times been disproved, led to the construction of a small circular chapel within the cloister adjacent to this church. This chapel, called the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tempietto</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, is considered one of the best examples of Italian Renaissance architecture in Rome.

They then reconvened at this same church after the Council to announce the newly formulated Nicene Creed. Constantine was in attendance for this. The large painting on the left side of the nave created in 1640 recalls one of these meetings. However, this tradition is often tied to the ‘Symmachian Forgeries’ thus throwing some doubt on its credibility. Nevertheless, it does seem probable that some agreement was achieved between Constantine and St Sylvester I that allowed for the success of the Council of Nicaea.</span></div>

Also within this same reliquary chapel are some small relics said to be from St Peter, St Paul, St Andrew, and a number of other saints including the pope, St Fabian (d. 250). St Fabian was originally buried in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Catacombs of San Callisto</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> but later his remains were moved to this church.</span></div>

They are said to rest below the main entrance to this church having been placed here when the church was built in the 16th century. During the placement of these relics it was impossible to separate the bones of St Peter Faber from the bones of other individuals; therefore, his bones are buried together with theirs.</span></div>
