CATEDRAL DE SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA - a photo on Flickriver

            Urna neorrománica de plata realizada en 1880 para guardar en ella las reliquias del apóstol Santiago y sus discípulos Atanasio y Teodoro, tras ser localizadas en el subsuelo de la catedral compostelana en enero de 1879.

La primera vez que se situaron en España fue en el siglo IX. En el año 825, un eremita llamado Pelayo quedó sorprendido por unas luces llamativas que surgían de la tierra. Avisó al obispo Teodomiro de Iria Flavia quien descubrió que las luces indicaban el lugar exacto donde los discípulos habían enterrado el cuerpo del decapitado Santiago el Mayor, oculto tras una densa vegetación. Se trataba de una estrella brillante y fija (de donde Campus Stellae, Compostela) que indicó donde se encontraba el sepulcro.

Teodomiro no tardó en acudir hasta el lugar, hoy Santiago de Compostela. Y una vez allí encontró una losa de mármol, unos huesos humanos y llegó a la conclusión de que los restos de aquel cuerpo pertenecían al apóstol.

Neo-Romanesque silver urn made in 1880 to store the relics of the Apostle Santiago and his disciples Athanasius and Theodore, after being located in the basement of the Compostela cathedral in January 1879.

The first time they were located in Spain was in the 9th century. In the year 825, a hermit named Pelayo was surprised by some striking lights that emerged from the earth. He notified Bishop Teodomiro de Iria Flavia who discovered that the lights indicated the exact place where the disciples had buried the body of the beheaded Saint James the Greater, hidden behind dense vegetation. It was a bright and fixed star (from where Campus Stellae, Compostela) indicated where the tomb was.

Teodomiro did not take long to go to the place, today Santiago de Compostela. And once there he found a marble slab, some human bones and came to the conclusion that the remains of that body belonged to the apostle.
