Putative relics of Philip and James have been in Rome's basilica dei Santi Apostoli since its initial construction in the pontificates of Pelagius I (556-561) and John III (561-574). Here's a view of their present tomb in the crypt:

A portion of what is believed to be P.'s skull is said to have been brought to Cyprus from Constantinople in 1204 very shortly after that city's capture in the Fourth Crusade. Here's a view of it on display in an eighteenth-century reliquary case in the monastery of the Holy Cross at Omodos (Limassol prefecture) in the Republic of Cyprus:

In that earlier post's notice of these saints, the link to a view of their originally twelfth-century church at Castellina in Serravalle Pistoiese (PT) no longer functions. Use these instead:

In the same notice, the link to 'more views' of their slightly later church at Montecastelli Pisano (SI) also no longer functions.
Further to Alexander I, pope, and Eventius and Theodulus:
In that earlier post's notice of these saints, the links to the view of Alexander as depicted in the apse frescoes of his mausoleum at Corfinio (AQ) and to the view of other saints in the same frescoes no longer function. Use these instead:

In the same notice, the link to a detail view of Alexander's late fifteenth-century portrayal in the Sistine Chapel no longer functions.
Further to Juvenal of Narni:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the fourth of the five links to views of his cathedral in Narni no longer functions.
In the same notice, the first of the links to numerous views of the chiesa di San Giovenale in Orvieto no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Theodosius of Kyiv (Kiev):
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the third of the English-language accounts of the Kyiv (Kiev)-Pechersk Lavra is to a Google Books presentation, which latter may not be accessible by some readers. The matter in question is at pp. 162-164 of Brad Olson, _Sacred Places Europe: 108 Destinations_ (Ccc Publishing, 2007).
Best,
