What Finally Happened to Philip?
Ancient non-biblical texts tell us that Philip, following Christ's resurrection, went with his sister, Mariamne, and Bartholomew (Nathanael) to preach in Greece, Phrygia and Syria. The traditional record says Philip, while at Hierapolis (in Phrygia, modern Turkey), miraculously healed the wife of the proconsul of the city, and she accepted Christ's gift of salvation.
The enraged proconsul had Philip and his sister and
Bartholomew tortured. Philip and Bartholomew were crucified upside down and Philip preached from his cross. The watching crowd released Bartholomew, but Philip insisted they not release him, and he died.
Symbols for Philip have traditionally included the Latin Cross, a cross with two loaves, a basket filled with bread.
On Wednesday, July 27, 2011, the Turkish news agency reported that archaeologists had unearthed the Tomb of Saint Philip during excavations in Hierapolis, close to the Turkish town of Denizli.
The Italian professor Francesco D'Andria stated that the scientists had discovered the Tomb within a newly revealed church. He stated that the design of the Tomb and writing on its walls definitely prove it belonged to the martyred Apostle of Jesus.
