Among the theories about Rosslyn is that it is the secret resting place of the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant and even the mummified head of Christ.

Exactly why would a Christian Church imply this? Didn't Paul say if Christ didn't rise then we are all (Christians) most pitiable?

1 Corinthians

15:1Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,

15:2by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.

15:3For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

15:4and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;

15:5and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;

15:6then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;

15:7then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;

15:8and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also.

15:9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

15:10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

15:11Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

15:12Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

15:13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:

15:14and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.

15:15Yea, we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.

15:16For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:

15:17and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 15:18Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

15:19If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

The church didn't. Those 'theories' have all been implied by others.

There's a book out on the subject titled: Rosslyn Hoax? that should be available here in the States soon.
