> Could anyone please shed some light on Ss Protasus and Gervaise and the
> location where their relics were discovered. The only information I have
> is the following :
>
> The visual impact of these burials is so considerable that two red-ochred
> skeletons, presumably of this age, found under a church in northern Italy,
> were identified as Christian martyrs. Thus recognised, their relics were
> believed to have restored sight to a blind man and to have driven out
> demons from others and, in consequence, the pair became canonised as Saint
> Protasus and Saint Gervaise. [Bradley, R. 2002. The Past in Prehistoric
> Societies. London: Routledge. p112]
