http://www.undergroundworldnews.com Plenty of churches contain relics of saints, but not many of those relics were found in excavations from sixth-century churches. Archaeologists at a medieval fortress site in Burgas, Bulgaria, found a lead vessel, which contains some of the ashes from the alleged grave of John the Apostle, in a reliquary that dates to the sixth century C.E. The reliquary, which was once part of an early Christian basilica, is named for Saint John the Theologian, who is considered one of Jesus' apostles. The vessel, which is less than an inch long, is decorated with crosses. http://theweek.com/speedreads/546668/archaeologists-think-theyve-found-ashes-st-john-apostle http://www.newser.com/story/204637/relic-in-ancient-basilica-may-hold-apostles-ashes.html
