Bones attributed to St Peter have been found by chance in a church in Rome during routine restoration work, 2,000 years after the apostle’s death.

The relics of the saint, who is regarded as the first Pope, were found in clay pots in the 1,000-year-old Church of Santa Maria in Cappella in the district of Trastevere, a medieval warren of cobbled lanes on the banks of the Tiber River.

"RELICS! Get your relics! I got bones, I got pieces of the Cross. I got Holy Grails"
"Do you have the spear that pierced His side?"
"Sure bud, how many ya want?"
"Gimmee two and two St Peters. Do ya have your lesser Popes"
"Best ones in town, pal"

I thought St. Peters bones were already at the Vatican underneath the basillica's alter?
