Relics
Here is an interesting article about Christian relics. These are personal items, or even body parts, of saints or other very holy people, which are sometimes claimed to have magical powers. The best-known relics include the Crown of Thorns, Veronica’s veil, the True Cross of Jesus, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, the Big Toe of Saint Cosmo, and the skull of Mary Magdalene.
To view this article, go to relics. It points out that many purported relics may be fakes, especially the hundreds of supposed pieces of wood from the true cross which are found in many churches.
