After Saint Ignatius the God-Bearer, by order of King Trajan, was torn to pieces by beasts in Rome for Christ 1049, as is narrated in his life, some larger bones remained after him. The believers who were in Rome at that time collected them and placed them reverently in the same city in a place of honor, and then, during the reign of the same Trajan, they transferred them to Antioch - for the defense of the city, for the healing of the sick, for the consolation of his entire verbal flock and for the glory of Christ God, for whose name he zealously suffered 1050. More detailed information about this is presented in his life on December 20.
The first transfer of the relics of St. Ignatius the God-Bearer was in 108, the second from the foothills to Antioch itself in 438. Subsequently (in the 7th century) his relics were transferred to Rome, where they are now in the church of St. Clement.
