Ut Unum Sint

From Pope bids to heal Orthodox rift: The spiritual heads of Christianity's two largest churches, Roman Catholic and Orthodox, have taken part in a solemn ceremony at the Vatican.:


    The bones, in white reliquaries,
    were blessed by the two leaders

And from Vatican Returns Saints' Relics to Orthodox Church:


    Pope John Paul II (R) and Orthodox Christian leader Bartholomew I
    lead a special celebration in Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican
    November 27, 2004. The Pope, attempting to mend relations with
    Orthodox Christians, returned the remains of two of their most
    prominent saints 800 years after Crusaders snatched sacred
    relics from Constantinople
