Abstract The procedure for Grand Unified Theory (GUT) monopole searches by means of the NT200 Baikal neutrino detector is described. Event-selection and background-suppression algorithms are discussed in detail. Limits on the flux of slow monopoles are presented and are compared with theoretical predictions and with the results of other experiments.

Christ’s bones are missing at the Holy Sepulchre; St Peter’s bones remain in his basilica; Hagia Sophia was not built on bones. The absence, presence, or lack of bones effects different emphases on memory (anamnesis) and fulfillment (eschatology). In Jerusalem we witness our future glory (eschatology) already revealed in our history (anamnesis); in Rome we recall (anamnesis) the sacrifice of martyrs whose bones remain until the general resurrection (eschatology), even while we venerate the saints in light; at Hagia Sophia liturgy itself, rather than bones, provides the context for remembering the whole Christ in the power of the Spirit. Celebrating liturgy over the bones of martyrs in Rome, while venerating their sacrifice, may have accentuated the sacrificial character of the eucharistic liturgy in the Christian west, whereas in the Christian east the eschatological glory already revealed in our history and in liturgy may have shaped the eschatological character of liturgy.

ANTARES is the first undersea neutrino detector ever built and presently the neutrino telescope with the largest effective area operating in the Northern Hemisphere. A three-dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes detects the Cherenkov light induced by the muons produced in the interaction of high energy neutrinos with the matter surrounding the detector. The detection of astronomical neutrino sources is one of the main goals of ANTARES. The search for point-like neutrino sources with the ANTARES telescope is described and the preliminary results obtained with data collected from 2007 to 2010 are shown. No cosmic neutrino source has been observed and neutrino flux upper limits have been calculated for the most promising source candidates.
