Dunno if this has anything to do with the Video, I havent watched it. But its probably a more sober assessment of the "Jesus's foreskin" saga, as much as you can be sober about it.

One of the comments;
I have a wonderful quote from Mark Twain about relics:

“In a museum in Havana, there are two skulls of Christopher Columbus, one when he was a boy and one when he was a man.”

Sorry I missed this thread earlier, but oh yes this was definitely a thing.

You can learn all about it in a fascinating and wonderfully entertaining book titled An Irreverent Curiosity: In Search of the Church's Strangest Relic in Italy's Oddest Town, by David Farley. The book inspired me to visit the town of Calcata on a trip to Italy years ago.
