Where the Apostles Rest.

Catholic authorities state that the remains of the apostles of Christ are now in the following places: Seven are in Rome —namely, Peter, Philip, James the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias and Simon. Three are in the Ringdom of Naples, Matthew at Salerno, Andrew at Amalfi, and Thomas at Ortano. One in Spain, James the Greater, whose remains are at St. Jago de Compostella. Of the body of St. John, the evangelist, the remaining one of the twelve, there is no knowledge. The evangelists Mark and Luke are also in Italy—the former at Venice and the latter at Padua. St. Paul’s remains are also believed to be in Italy. Peter’s are, of course, in the church at Rome, which is called after him, as are also those of Simon and Jude. Those of James the Lesser and of Philip are in the Church of the Holy Apostles; Bartholomew’s in the church on the island in the Tiber, called after him; Matthias’ are in Santa Maria Maggiore, under the great altar of the renowned Basilica.
