The 6th-century writer [[Theodorus Lector]] averred that in about 507, the Byzantine emperor [[Anastasius I Dicorus]] gave the body of Bartholomew to the city of [[Daras]], in Mesopotamia, which he had recently refounded.{{sfn|Smith|Cheetham|1875|p=179}} The existence of relics at [[Lipari]], a small island off the coast of [[Sicily]], in the part of Italy controlled from Constantinople, was explained by [[Gregory of Tours]]<ref>Gregory, ''De Gloria Martyrum'', i.33.</ref> by his body having miraculously washed up there. A large piece of his skin and many bones that were kept in the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew in Lipari, were translated to [[Benevento]] in 838, where they are still kept in the Basilica San Bartolomeo. A portion of the relics was given in 983 by [[Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor]], to Rome, where it is conserved at [[San Bartolomeo all'Isola]], which was founded on the site of the temple of [[Asclepius]], in pagan times an important Roman medical centre. This association with medicine caused Bartholomew's name to become associated in course of time with hospitals.{{sfn|Attwater|John|1995|p=}} A part of Bartholomew's alleged skull was transferred to the [[Frankfurt Cathedral]], while an arm was venerated in [[Canterbury Cathedral]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} 
In 2003, Patriarch [[Bartholomew I of Constantinople]] brought some of the remains of St. Bartholomew to Baku as a gift to Azerbaijani Christians, and these remains are now kept in the [[Holy Myrrhbearers Cathedral]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://azertag.az/xeber/KONSTANTINOPOL_PATRIARXI_I_VARFOLOMEY_AZARBAYCANA_GALMISDIR-980691 |title=KONSTANTİNOPOL PATRİARXI I VARFOLOMEY AZƏRBAYCANA GƏLMİŞDİR |last= |first= |date=April 16, 2003 |website=azertag.az |publisher= |access-date=April 28, 2021 |quote=}}</ref>
