An international archeological expedition has found the tomb of
Apostle Philip at Pamukalle in Turkey, ITAR-TASS reports.
Francesco Andria said that they found a memorial at an old church. The
grave has not been opened yet.
The ancient city of Hierapolis (modern Denizli) was the site of the
death of the 12th apostle, Saint Philip. He was preaching in the city
during the time of the Emperor Domitian between 81 and 95. The city
came under the control of the Byzantine Empire in 395. A church was
built and named after Saint Philip.
