Saint Mark is one of the Gospel writers and a member of the tribe of Levi. He is believed to be "John Mark” in the Acts of the Apostles and the cousin of St. Barnabas. They joined St. Paul on the first mission to Antioch in 44AD. Mark was St. Paul’s “trusted companion” especially when Paul was imprisoned in Rome. St. Mark died a martyr in Alexandria and his relics are enshrined at the Cathedral of St. Mark in Venice.

If I had a nickel for every time Veneziano stole the body of a Saint to bring back to Venice, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
