SAVIDGE: Pope Francis will meet Russian president, Vladimir Putin, for the first time. That will be tomorrow at the Vatican. Some are already calling this the most important papal summit in decades. Relations between the Vatican and Russia had been strained lately but the two men have one thing that unites them, that's the crisis in Syria. Pope Francis and Putin are adamantly opposed to international intervention in the Syrian civil war. And today, for the first time ever, the bones believed to be St. Peters remains were put on display at the Vatican. At mass today, the pope held the small container holding the remains. Mystery and controversy surround whether they really are authentic. It comes down to faith. Here's Ben Wedeman.</s>BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I think it's something of a leap of faith to say those are indeed the remains of St. Peter. They were kept for decade in an urn in the papal apartment with an inscription that essentially said tradition holds that these are the bones or remains of St. Peter. Now, circumstantial evidence may point to the possibility that those are the bones, after much study, it was found they belong it a man who's about 5'7" who died between ages of 60 and 70, which does coincide with the traditional narrative of the life and death of St. Peter. But there's no way anyone can carry out any sort of DNA test on those bones to ascertain they belong to St. Peter. One more bit of evidence to add is that apparently they were found in an underground cavity that did have an inscription in ancient Greek that said, Peter is within -- which indicates or suggests that somebody by the name of Peter was buried down there. But historians and archaeologists aren't all together convinced. But this is a matter of faith when it comes to the Catholic Church.</s>SAVIDGE: Ben Wedeman, thanks very much for that explanation. Right now, millions of Americans are in the path of a storm that could become a nor'easter. And, of course, this certainly isn't good news for those traveling for Thanksgiving. Coming up, a look at who is bracing for the cold and wet holiday.
