The Tomb of St Monica was Discovered by Kids Playing Soccer
Religious artifact hunting has a long history and is especially prevalent in popular culture today. Without the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant, where would Indiana Jones be today? The discovery of the Tomb of St. Monica was less daring but no less amazing, and Harrison Ford was not present.
A pair of boys who wanted to play football, or soccer to our American readers, decided to dig a hole for a goal post outside the town of Ostia Antica. In any case, they did discover a stone with Monica's funeral inscription on it. In a barren field, the youngsters had found the saint's long-lost grave.
