It really doesn’t matter what fluff stories any religion attaches to these....the fact these are unburied dead skeleton remains and decayed dismembered body parts cannot be denied..... How people choose to prevent burial, regardless of what religion, and what rituals they practice ‘believing’ that these body parts have some sort of mystical power or holy part in their worship is, as mentioned prior, well known among Haitians, Pagan tribes in Africa, soothsayers and the like.
This is not something Jesus practiced nor did he encourage us to do so.
The Israelites would not leave Egypt until they had the bones of Joseph, and the Pharaoh endured all of the plagues except the last one until he released them.

Also, why is it that roughly 100 trillion single cell organisms do not consume the incorrupt body of St. Rita?
