St. Paul's Bones

Interestingly, the Pope has announced two cool discoveries about St. Paul over the last few days, and this one is especially neat on the Feast Day of Sts. Peter and Paul. Scientific testing has indicated that the relics we venerate as St. Paul's really seem to be his.

Matt Watson said...: It is amazing to read stuff like this especially as a non-Catholic. Before studying Catholicism, I never realized that for centuries and centuries, Christians have had relics and bones of old saints but no one has ever found the bones of Jesus. And now, to read this -- I didn't even know, or had forgotten, that there were bones possibly from Paul. If that is true, it is amazing.; June 30, 2009 at 5:14 PM
