The few relics that Pope Gregorius I believed were of the Apostle St. Peter, he moved them away from the Vatican by sea in the year 610, in order to safeguard them from a feared invasión(VEA LA PAG EN ESPAÑOL EN http://es.geocities.com/ramonramonetriu/APOSTOL)
The relics were discovered in the year 1910, when the ground near the main altar of the so rundown church sank under the feet of some thieves who were stealing marble. Without knowing what bones were contained in this "briefcase-relicary",it was finally put in the attic of the "MUSEU D´ART" in Girona, during the long restoration of which I identified them as all being part of the same lot, in spite of them being separated. Later, the relics and relicary went on show inside a glass case in Room I.
THE ANCIENT CRYPT OF THE OLD monastery of "SAINT PETER OF RODA" in Catalonia (St. Pere de Roda) was opened to the few visitors to such a remote place in Catalonia, only 10 years before my investigation (1976). The church of the big monastery was build over the crypt. The monks, knew that there were relics of St. Peter, but never knew exactly where they were.
The reliquary has been hidden in the wall of the cave (similar to its hiding place in the Vatican in the year 610). The committee then left many other relics in the ground as a "decoy" ".
The person with the raised arm, indicates the exact place in the wall of the cave where they had hidden the relicary (his location later forgoten). So, 12 centuries later, exactly in the year 1910, the relics where finally discovered.
I found out about them when I read a forgotten Ecclesiastic Yearbook from the year 1917, astonishing me that I never knew about it before. My phonecall to the parish priest of that church, confirmed me -there and then- that all this was forgotten, because he had been there in charge for the last 25 years and he said to me: ""I could not belive that nothing was ever published".
NEXT TO THE RELICS, THERE IS A SILK´S TISSUE APRON. It was made to fit the frail Pope Gregorius I. It´s protected by glass, framed and hung near the aforementioned glass case.
Gregorius I build the "Confession",which is a very reduced space, exactly undernearth the main altar of Saint Peter of Vatican. There Gregorius I celebrated a service on the Tomb which was covered with the apron of silk tissue, that was then used to wrap the relicary (as is mandatory in the liturgy). He hid the "briefcase" in an marble hole inside the wall, closing it with another piece of marble. The silk tissue helps preserve it from deterioration.
I ALSO INCLUDED THE DECIPHERED SYMBOLS that Pope Gregorius I engraved on the bones not in the "briefcase- relicary,", which were cleverly restored in 1910 . In the "British Museum" they informed me that nothing similar for the Medieval period exists.
The excesSive secrecy of Gregorius I, dictated strange ways of refering to the saint´s relics, but it Is most important that the measurement of the hideout place "Confession", and the "briefcase" (icluding its lost cover) coincide.
The official investigation under Pope Pius XII concluded that: "the "Trophy" that distinguished the "St. Peter´s Tomb", was found, but not the relics.
Tradition says that the relics of the Apostle Peter were transferred(610) with great pomp, but nothing is mentioned about bells ringing to celebrate their return to the Vatican. THE RELICARY ALSO INCLUDED a portable altar used by Pope Pelagius II . It was a present from the mysteriuos IOSEPH and ELIMBURGA." This altar traveled with the St. Peter´s relics inside the briefcase, and in the oposite side there is a slate stone which incrusted in the centre and symbolise St. Peter (In the spanish language this page is the same, but with the title "/APOSTOL.html) OTHER WEB sights: www.gratisweb.com/montserrat_rostro where there are many links to the other pages with complementary photosatellites (of NASA) of Mt. Montserrat in Catalonia, that looks like a perfect Human Face (10x5 km.). In the mountain of SINAI, a similar phenomenon occurs and neither has any natural explanation. ALSO: I state that Mt. Montserrat was also the CRADLE OF MEGALITHIC DOLMENS in Europe, where they tried to reproduce BULLS in slabs of stone, expanding them in direction a SE-NW.
