	Chair of Peter
		The Chair of St. Peter in the apse was made of marble and was built into the wall, that of the baptistery was movable and could be carried.
		This double festival of the Chair of St. Peter is generally attributed to a long absence of the Apostle from Rome.
		During the Middle Ages it was customary to exhibit it yearly to the faithful; the newly-elected pope was also solemnly enthroned on this venerable chair, a custom that ceased at the transfer of the papal capital to Avignon, in the early part of the fourteenth century.

	Origen of Alexandria
		According to tradition, the ancient "church" at Alexandria was founded by Mark, the author of the gospel, sometime in the second half of the first century.< 1> Outside of our canonical gospel, we possess no records or texts describing the theology of Mark.
		Alexandria was host to Philo, one of the greatest Jewish philosophers and a contemporary of Christ, who taught that the philosophy of Pythagoras and Plato could be found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which he interpreted allegorically.
		He convoked a council at Alexandria in 400 which condemned "Origenism" and continued his campaign against Origen, calling him the "hydra of heresies" and persecuting Origen's adherents.< 60> Once the tide turned against Origen, as against the Christian- Gnostics, it could not be abated.
