Who was Saint Mark the Apostle? What Led to His Gospel in the Bible? - Topical Studies

Saint Mark became a great evangelist in Alexandria, Egypt, then a great city. His feast day is April 25 because on that day he was dragged through the streets of the city until he died.

Yes they have his relics in St Mark’s Basilica in Venice.
