"The 'Holy Prepuce' Is Missing!"

For those who may have missed it:

Jesus Foreskin Has Gone Missing! - For more than four centuries, the "Holy Prepuce" had been the city's treasure, kept behind bronze doors over the altar in the Church of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. It was displayed every year on Jan. 1, the Feast of the Holy Circumcision. At one time, pilgrims who came to venerate it were rewarded with an indulgence that cut 10 years from their time in purgatory.

I heard this tonight on the radio coming home from work. Neal Boortz show. Didn't even know there was such a thing but evidently, there is. Neal's show was a rerun so it's a somewhat dated story.


P.S. Not sure if it has been found.
