Interesting.

[Keli Kilohana]

There are probably enough pieces of bones from the apostles and enough pieces of the cross to fill a small basilica.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Paraphrasing Paul: I must decrease and Christ must increase.

I’m guessing Paul would’ve thought dimmly of his remains becoming iconic.

Bone Fragment from St. Paul -- NICE!!!!

You are bidding on an ancient bone fragment from the tomb of St. Paul, believed to be a toe bone of the Apostle himself. These are very rare pieces to find! A nice fragment! Condition is good. There is no restoration, 100% as found. This would make a fabulous addition to any collection.

Winning bidder will pay $125.00 shipping and handling (continental U.S.) which includes insurance and careful packing. Please inspect all photos carefully before bidding. Please bid responsibly. Check my feedback!!!

“This seems to confirm the unanimous and undisputed tradition...”

I can't disagree with that. However, I highly doubt it is of any Apostle.

If So; if so; IF SO; then they have found a physical memento of the greatest, most influential human being in history (Christ is excluded because of special status as God/man).

NOT that it matters!

[Westlander]

How would you tell this is actually St. Paul?

[diamond6]

It’s too bad he wasn’t one of the “incorruptible saints”. I’d be interested to see what he looked like.
