OK, this is the cathedral of Saint Mark In Venice. Under the altar are the bones of the gospel writer Mark, the patron Saint of Venice. They were brought to Venice from Alexandria at some time during the crusades. I think that’s what the tour guide said. How did they know it was him? I wonder if that’s what the guy in the souk said to them?
But I also notice that all around Venice are statues and paintings to the old gods, including Mars, Poseidon, and Zeus. Guess they were hedging their bets.
