As the Vatican prepares to display bones it believes to be those of St Peter, we explore an amazing series of jewelled saints' remains from southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The skeletons were found in 1578 when some of the catacombs of Rome were opened up, containing the remains of the city's early Christian community. Over the next couple of hundred years, some of the skeletons, identified as saints' remains, were sent north across the Alps to replace relics destroyed in the Protestant Reformation. To mark their newfound status, they were festooned with an extraordinary assortment of jewels, cloth of gold and other precious fabrics, and are still objects of veneration.

Mientras el Vaticano se prepara para exponer los que se creen ser los huesos de San Pedro, nosotros exploramos una increíble serie de restos de los santos adornados con joyas, los cuales son provenientes del sur de Alemania, Austria y Suiza. Los esqueletos se encontraron en 1578 cuando se abrieron algunas de las catacumbas de Roma, las cuales contenían los primeros restos de la comunidad cristiana de la ciudad. En los siguientes doscientos años, algunos de los esqueletos, identificados como los restos de santos, se enviaron al norte a través de los Alpes para reemplazar las reliquias destruidas en la Reforma protestante. Para marcar su nueva posición, se engalanaron con una extraordinaria colección de joyas, tejidos de oro y otras telas preciosas, y todavía siguen siendo objetos de veneración.
