The Holy Foreskin
Jesus was circumcised according to his customs. The Holy Foreskin is said to be the only piece of Jesus' body to remain on Earth after the Resurrection. During the Middle Ages, many monasteries claimed to have the Holy Foreskin. The only papal approved foreskin was believed to be given to Charlemagne. The last sighting of the Holy Foreskin occurred at an Italian town (Calcata) in 1983. It is said that the foreskin resembled or appeared as a "red chickpea". Later after the last sighting, it is said that the foreskin disappeared. The Holy Foreskin teaches us that Jesus indeed had a human nature; his parents taught him to follow their culture from an early age.
