it means, "the friend of jesus." >> those words, "friend of jesus," that really clinched it for people here in larnaca. they believe they have the bones of saint lazarus. >> today, the bones are preserved in a golden reliquary. >> there is piece of the head of saint lazarus. >> so we've got six bones, maybe arms or leg bones, and a piece of skull? >> yes, what they found in '72. >> the story that is told today is that the cypriots only gave the emperor part of the body of lazarus. in fact, parts of the skull of lazarus is paraded on the island of cyprus every feast day on march 17th. there's an unbroken continuity from that period to our time.
