Which of the 12 apostle’s relics are housed in the Amalfi Cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo in Italy?

Amalfi Cathedral (Italian: ‘Duomo di Amalfi; Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea) is a medieval Roman Catholic Cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi, Italy. It is dedicated to the Apostle Saint Andrew whose relics are kept there. The architecture style is considered Romanesque-Baroque-Rococo. Started in the 9th and 10th centuries, the cathedral has been added to several times.

The remains of St. Andrew were reportedly brought to Amalfi from Constantinople in 1206 after the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) by Cardinal Peter of Capua. In 1208, the crypt was completed and the relics were turned over to the church.

A wooden 13th century crucifix hangs in the liturgical area and another crucifix made of mother-of-pearl, was brought from the Holy Land and is located to the right of the back door. Sixty-two steps, wide and steep, lead up to the doors.

Andrew the Apostle also called Saint Andrew, was the brother of Saint Peter, both fisherman. He is referred to in the Orthodox tradition as the First-Called, a reference to the scriptural story when Jesus began identifying and calling the men to follow him as disciples. History records his birth between 5-10 AD in Galilee which was part of the Roman Empire at this time. His death is referenced as 60 AD in Patras, a province of the Roman Empire, in Greece.

The name ‘Andrew’ derives from the Greek meaning manly or brave, like other Greek names, appears to have been common among the Jews and other Hellenized people of Judaea.
