Prepuceterous!
Apparently, the only piece of Jesus that didn’t rise to heaven—his foreskin— is missing. The prepuce had supposedly been kept above the altar of a church in Calcata, Italy for over four centuries, only appearing in public once a year for the Feast of the Holy Circumcision. No one has actually seen the holy hood since 1983 (when it was stolen from a shoebox kept in the back of the parish priest’s wardrobe), but now, New York-based writer David Farley is exploring its history and possible whereabouts in a book due out in 2009. It’s a comfort to note that the foreskin of the Antichrist is still preserved in a secure location.
