Paul’s Remains
In December 2006, the Vatican announced discovery of a sarcophagus long thought to contain the Apostle Paul’s remains. Paul was executed in Rome around 65 AD and early Christians preserved his remains. In 320, the emperor Constantine housed these bones in a small basilica which Theodosius enlarged in 390. The Vatican has not ascertained whether the bones of Paul actually occupy the stone coffin. To read more about this find, visit the National Geographic web page at Paul’s Remains.
