They ought to let Geraldo do the honors on the broadcast to drive up interest.

That altar is so beautiful! Thanks for posting the picture. When the Pope visitied Turkey a cou;ple of weeks ago he gave one of the Patriarchs a piece of the chain that was said to have bound St. Paul when he was imprisoned before he was martyred. So, if they know where the chain is, they know where the body is.
