The foreskin of Jesus, a scrap from his circumcision, is considered sacred. It was displayed and paraded as recently as 1983, but then stolen from its jewel-encrusted case. Srsly. Google HOLY PREPUCE.

LEAVING OUT THE BEST PART. The way they authenticated the foreskin was by tasting it.

    The lord's foreskin has a slight spice to it. Great addition to any soup or stew.

    Or, according to one account, it ascended with him and became the rings of Saturn.

    So how many other foreskins were saved in the off chance that the kid was going to grow up and become famous? Who was collecting these foreskins back then? Do we have a modern-day creep waiting for the perfect moment to sell their Justin Beiber, Jaden Smith, or Ed Furlong foreskins? I know with newly invented DNA it would be trivial to confirm whose is whose. But back in 300AD you could only take the word of some guy with a bunch of foreskins that the one he is selling you is, in fact, the real deal.

    I don't dislike collectors I just can't fathom a relic lasting that long and not being eaten and replaced with a pig asshole somewhere and possibly a few times along the way.

    OK. So normally these "Google the thing" is about something different and the setup is misdirection (ie: Google 40% cops).

    That is... legitimately more information about this. Wtf?

    Not stolen, just removed. THAT was the year that they examined many relics for authenticity, due to better age determinations. Many relicks failed in those tests, was regularly on the news at the time

    I don't know what is done to the removed skin but I seriously doubt it is kept in any way.

    But this is about relics and at some point someone made the calculations and realized the claimed number of pieces of the holy cross held in different churches and monasteries throughout Europe would be enough to put together a small forest.
