St Mark's relics, the purported remains of Saint Mark the Evangelist, are held in St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy.
Venice
'Translatio'
The relics of Saint Mark are recorded in Venice as early as the ninth-century in both the will of Doge Giustiniano Participazio () and the travelogue of a Frankish monk on return from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. However, the oldest surviving written account of the , the transfer of the relics from Alexandria in Egypt to Venice, dates only to the eleventh century, although earlier writings evidently existed and were used as sources.
As narrated, a fleet of ten Venetian trading vessels seeks shelter in the Muslim-controlled city of Alexandria during a storm. This is said to be 'by the will of God'; hence there is no intentional violation of the edict of Emperor Leo V that forbids commercial contact with the Muslims. In Alexandria, two of the Venetian merchants, Buono da Malamocco (Metamaucum) and Rustico da Torcello, go daily to pray at the tomb of Saint Mark, located in a church near the port, and there, they make the acquaintance of Theodore and Stauracius, a priest and monk respectively. Theodore, fearful for the dwindling Christian community under Islamic rule, makes it known that the Caliph Al-Ma'mun has ordered the demolition of the church in order to recover building materials for new mosques, and it is suggested that the body of the saint be safely removed to Venice. To avoid raising suspicion, the body is first substituted with the remains of Saint Claudia, which are present in the church. The relics, placed into a basket and covered in pork, are then successfully smuggled past the Muslim customs officials and embarked on the Venetians' ship, which is preserved from shipwreck during the voyage by Saint Mark who appears and warns the sailors of the imminent danger. Other miracles occur, confirming the authenticity of the relics, until finally the ship arrives in Venice where the body is received by the Bishop of Olivolo and then taken in solemn procession to the Doge.
Independently of the pious inventions, the overall narration serves to justify the right of Venice to possess the relics. It simultaneously affirms the primacy of the Venetian church, the rightful successor of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, even over the ancient metropolitan see of Alexandria. As Buono and Rustico declare, evoking the tradition that Mark preached in northern Italy, the Venetians are the "first-born sons" () of the Evangelist. The translation of the relics to Venice is therefore a return of Mark to his rightful resting place.
Donald Nicol explained this act as "motivated as much by politics as by piety", and "a calculated stab at the pretensions of the Patriarchate of Aquileia." Instead of being used to adorn the church of Grado, which claimed to possess the throne of Saint Mark, it was kept secretly by Doge Giustiniano Participazio in his modest palace. Possession of Saint Mark's remains was, in Nicol's words, "the symbol not of the Patriarchate of Grado, nor of the bishopric of Olivolo, but of the city of Venice." In his will, Doge Giustiniano asked his widow to build a basilica dedicated to Saint Mark, which was erected between the palace and the chapel of Saint Theodore Stratelates, who until then had been patron saint of Venice.
'Praedestinatio' With the (also ) the possession of Saint Mark's relics by Venice is further legitimized, in this case as the fulfillment of a divine plan. Traceable to Martino da Canal's thirteenth century , the legend in its definitive form narrates that Saint Mark, after his mission to northern Italy and the evangelization of Aquileia, returns to Rome. Passing through the Venetian Lagoon, he beaches his boat for the night, and he has a vision on the very site of the future city of Venice in which an angel appears, greeting him "Peace to you Mark, my Evangelist" (). A prophecy follows announcing that his body will one day find rest in Venice () and that it will be venerated by a virtuous and pious people who will build a glorious and eternal city.
'Inventio' The (also ) confirms the special bond between Saint Mark and the Venetians. The legend concerns the rediscovery of the body at the time of the reconstruction of the church in the eleventh century. Although it is found no earlier than Martino da Canal's thirteenth-century , it may derive from the actual public exposition of Saint Mark's relics prior to their entombment in the new crypt. As narrated, the body of Saint Mark is hidden to prevent theft during work on the church, and after years all knowledge of its hiding place, known only to the Doge and a few trusted officials, is lost. Finally, after three days of fasting and prayer, an earthquake breaks open a pillar, revealing the body, which in later variations reaches out to the pious Venetians.
Alexandria The Coptic church believes that the head of Saint Mark remains in a church named after him in Alexandria, and parts of his relics are in Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, Cairo. Every year, on the 30th day of the month of Paopi, the Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the commemoration of the consecration of the church of Saint Mark, and the appearance of the head of the saint in the city of Alexandria. This takes place inside St Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria.
In June 1968, Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria sent an official delegation to Rome to receive a relic of Saint Mark from Pope Paul VI. The delegation consisted of ten metropolitans and bishops, seven of whom were Coptic and three Ethiopian, and three prominent Coptic lay leaders.
The relic was said to be a small piece of bone that had been given to the Roman pope by Giovanni Cardinal Urbani, Patriarch of Venice. Pope Paul, in an address to the delegation, said that the rest of the relics of the saint remained in Venice.
The delegation received the relic on June 22, 1968. The next day, the delegation celebrated a pontifical liturgy in the Church of Saint Athanasius the Apostolic in Rome. The metropolitans, bishops, and priests of the delegation all served in the liturgy. Members of the Roman papal delegation, Copts who lived in Rome, newspaper and news agency reporters, and many foreign dignitaries attended the liturgy.

The 2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis is a large movement of people from Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It began with the initial invasion of Russian troops on 24 February 2022. Even before the invasion, several European countries were preparing to take in refugees.
Hundreds of thousands fled in the first few days after the attack. Most have found refuge in neighboring countries west of Ukraine: Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia. Many of those affected are seeking refuge in the homes of relatives who live abroad. The European Union and individual countries have announced that they will be open to Ukrainians so that refugees do not have to go through an asylum procedure. Railroad companies in several states such as Poland and Germany allow Ukrainian refugees to travel by train free of charge.
Legal Officials of the European Union and individual states have discussed invoking the Temporary Protection Directive for the first time in its history so that the refugees do not have to go through the standard European Union asylum procedure. Railway companies in several countries, including Germany and Austria, are allowing Ukrainian refugees to travel by train for free.
Numbers Figures on people fleeing Ukraine can change rapidly and are often only estimates. Travels from country to country are not necessarily registered officially. Ukrainians can travel to some countries in Europe without a visa. They may be allowed to stay in the country for an extended period, such as 90 days, without special permission. Elsewhere, they must apply for asylum. Moreover, crossing the border into a country does not mean that people will stay in that country (permanently).
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated on 27 February that there will be 7.5 million domestic refugees in two months in Ukraine. 18 million people are affected by the conflict and 12 million people will need health help. Up to four million people are fleeing before the war.
At the United Nations Refugee Conference, on Sunday, 27 February 2022 it was announced that since the war over 368,000 people from Ukraine have fled. With more than 600,000 refugees believed to have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries as of 1 March 2022, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) feared the situation could degenerate into "Europe's largest refugee crisis this century".
Accommodations and aid
The co-founder of Airbnb and two other officials sent letters to European leaders of nations that share a border with Ukraine offering the companies support in housing refugees temporarily. The scheme would be funded by donations made through the sites Refugee Fund and with support of hosts on the platform. Organizations such as UNICEF, the United Nations Refugee Agency, International Rescue Committee, United Ukrainian American Relief Committee and others began accepting monetary donations for helping refugees and those affected by the crisis. Others such as the Kyiv Independent began GoFundMe campaigns to raise money for specific causes or calls for physical items to be donated by an individual.
Countries
Belgium Belgian State Secretary for Asylum and Migration Sammy Mahdi said on February 25, 2022, that Belgium stands in solidarity with Poland and Hungary. However, he called for Europe to coordinate the reception. Two days later, Development Minister Meryame Kitir announced that three million euros will be allocated for additional humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Netherlands Due to previous visa regulations with Ukraine, Ukrainians in search of safety can easily take the plane to the Netherlands and stay for three months. During this time, they basically have to find their own accommodation. Asylum centers are already "overcrowded." Moreover, Ukraine is still considered a safe country of origin, Petra Vissers summarized the legal situation on February 25. A further disadvantage for those affected, she said, is that life in the asylum center entails restrictions: there is an obligation to register, people cannot cook for themselves, and it is often difficult for children to attend school.
State Secretary for Migration Eric van der Burg said that the principle had always been emphasized that refugees should be received in their own region, if possible. "Now Europe is the region." At the time, 27 February, fewer than 50 refugees had arrived in the Netherlands from Ukraine.
Poland
As early as February 15, Poland was expecting a possible Russian attack. The government asked communities to prepare for up to a million refugees.
As of February 27, it was reported that more than 280,000 refugees had crossed the border into Poland. At the border crossing, non-European students from Ukrainian universities complained about "racist" unequal treatment.
Romania Romanian media report that the first Ukrainians have reached the country. Romania can receive 500,000 refugees if necessary, Romanian Defense Minister Vasile Dîncu had announced on 22 February, 2022. Two days later the first refugees have arrived.
France France "will take its part" in welcoming Ukrainian refugees: this announcement by Emmanuel Macron on Friday February 25, relayed by the mayors of metropolises and communities, was welcomed by associations of aid to migrants, even if they believe it is too early to assess needs.
Latvia On 24 February, the Government of Latvia approved a contingency plan to receive and accommodate approximately 10,000 refugees from Ukraine, and two days later the first refugees, assisted by the Latvian Samaritan Association, began arriving. Several non-governmental organizations, municipalities, schools and institutions also pledged to provide accommodation. On 27 February, around 20 volunteer professional drivers departed to Lublin with donated supplies, bringing Ukrainian refugees to Latvia on their way back.
Slovakia Since Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 6 a.m., the Slovakian police counted 12,400 refugees at the three border crossings with Ukraine. Passports were not required, anyone at the three border crossings is allowed to enter. About half came via Vyšné Nemecké. A day later, around 900 vehicles, nine buses and around 1,000 pedestrians are waiting in the afternoon. The waiting time is up to ten hours.
Switzerland It is already possible for a Ukrainian citizen (with a biometric passport) to enter Switzerland without a visa. The length of stay is three months. Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter declared on 28 February that in future refugees without passports would be welcome too. Residence should no longer be limited in time. The federal government and the cantons will quickly provide accomodation for nine thousand people for refugees. According to SRF, all political parties are in favour of a quick admission of Ukrainian refugees.
