An amazing book on the history of sacred relics, mostly from the European Christian Church. The book addresses not only the relics themselves, but where the relics came from as well as their importance to the Church and it's believers. Of particular note is the section on the history and competition between the multiple sacred foreskins of Jesus. There are/were actually many of these and each church swore they had in their procession the one and true relic. A great tale, worth the cost of admission. But there are many such other related tales in the book.
