Your answer was: St Methodius.
You are correct!!


Answer: Pope Clement I was imprisoned by Emperor Trajan, who did not approve of Clements' religious activities. The emperor had him exiled from Rome then executed by drowning. St Methodius found the Pope's body in a tomb submerged in water. Along with his brother, St Cyril, they brought the Pope's body back to Rome.
