PREPUCE CULT

Holy foreskins...

Then there was the abbey of Coulombos in the diocese of Chartres claiming that they were the owners of the True Foreskin.

Not all of Jesus’ body could have been actually transported up to Heaven. Jesus was, after all, a faithful Jew, and as such, he would have been circumcised like every other boy. So where was his foreskin? Whatever happened to that bit of divine flesh? And thus began a search for a very odd “Holy Grail” which resulted in not one, but up to a dozen different holy foreskins, each competing to be the genuine article.
