The
Tomb of Saint Peter
Pope
Pius XII gave his annual Christmas radio broadcast and told listeners around
the world about the discovery of the tomb of Saint Peter. Though not disclosing
when it had happened, the Pope said that the tomb had been found at St. Peter's
Basilica and that "The gigantic cupola (a small, most often dome-like,
structure on top of a building) rises in an arch exactly above the sepulcher
(tomb) of the first Bishop of Rom.
He
added that human bones had been found in the tomb as well, but that it was
impossible to prove that those were the remains of Peter.
Peter,
the apostle of whom Jesus Christ said, "On this rock I will build my
church" (Matthew 16:18), and considered by Roman Catholic believers to
have been the first Pope, had been crucified and buried on a hill in Rome in 64
A.D., near the present day Vatican City.
