Hey guys,

I’ve been thinking about this whole “kissing desiccated skulls” thing, and I’m not sure I’ve ever even heard of that happening. (At least not as lips touching the bone). I’ve looked in this thread for pics, and I haven’t seen any. It seems some posts have been deleted so if such pictures were deleted if you could just point me to such links (in FReepmail if you prefer) I’d be grateful.

I’d really like to see such pictures before commenting further (I might not even then really)

Thanks.

When they dug up St. Anthony's grave/corpse and moved it 30 years after his burial... when it was opened...it is claimed most of his body was found to have returned to dust......(many cathoics believe saint's bodies are incorruptable)... However 'his Tongue' remained fresh,... which was seen as 'a sign' of his of preaching, therefore they removed it and packaged it as a relic that people kiss and bow to.....

Here's the guy...well... what's left of him...looks like they hadn't decided how to dress him yet...

Here's what is suppose to be 'his "Tongue"....

And here they are parading 'his Tongue' out on this litter...The “feast of the tongue” celebrated in Colombo on Sri Lanka..... the tongue of “St. Anthony” had been transported from Italy to the Island nation in the Indian Ocean.
