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.

Religion may sound a bit goofy at times, but this part makes so much sense.

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.

Proving the miracle of Jesus introducing his disciples to crack.

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.

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?

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.

Look, some of us have the self-control required not to eat the foreskin in our collections.

Eaten? That's how you think it would disappear?

"A perfect cut! Here, save this, it will be a collector's item someday."

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

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

Yeah came to comment something on the same line, it was conveniently stolen when we got more tools and knowledge to test these kind of things.

We should find a way to turn the tasting of baby Jesus's foreskin into a common phrase
