Didn't someone say something about how if all the splinters of wood purported to be from the cross of Christ were collected together, they could build a thousand ships? Sometimes, I think people take things more than a bit too far and, as it relates to our Savior, Jesus Christ, it brings shame unto his name. With all the supposed relics and visions and apparitions with their shrines and basilicas, fountains and altars, I wonder how many people have really and truly come to saving faith in Jesus Christ? How many do we never hear of who went away brokenhearted, dead in faith and severely disappointed that their sincere entreaties for miracles went ungranted, or their precious children suffered and died? I believe God desires us to seek after him and his will and not place our hopes in relics and tangible things but to rest in knowing his will for us will always be what is best for us.

I just heard there are something like 20 churches that have one of the ORIGINAL nails that nailed Christ to the cross..

I would love to know just how this 'belt" came into the hands of the Orthodox church??

This is an amulet that the proletariat hopes will cause an increase in the population ...I suspect that importing muslims would help more
