One of those sites is the cemetery where Saint Paul was buried after his martyrdom, about four miles from the Vatican.

He was martyred about four miles from the Vatican? Who knew? Maybe it was just in the translation.

My wife and I found there is much to see in Rome in a reasonably small area. We were only in the neighborhood for about 8 days and one of those we spent in Pompeii.

I was also in Rome a couple times in my short Navy career.

I and we barely scratched the surface regarding all the things there are to see there.

I thought a sarcophagus in the church of St. Paul's Outside the Walls was believed to contain the remains of St. Paul.

January 25 was traditionally the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, which predates the Week for Christian Unity. That must have been timed to end on Jan. 25 for that reason.
