Eldorado Posted November 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2019 "A fragment of wood reputed to be from the manger where Jesus was laid after his humble birth went on display in Jerusalem on Friday, ahead of its transfer to Bethlehem for the official launch of the Christmas season. "The wood piece, just a few centimetres (inches) long, was once kept in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. It was handed over earlier this week to the custodian of the Bethlehem church, who said it brought “great honor to believers and pilgrims in the area”."

Stiff Posted December 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2019 How on earth can could anyone prove its provenance? They can't. It's impossible. But no doubt, there will be many gullible millions who will blindly believe it. It beggars belief. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Guitar Posted December 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2019 And for only $19.95 USD..........Sounds like another Ernest Angley scheme.....or maybe a donation for Creflo Dollar's new airplane. There's one born every minute. How could any reasonably intelligent, thinking individual fall for this crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible, Jesus’ for skin was draped over the planet Saturn and became the rings of Saturn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted December 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) I think it is very nice it is being returned. Nice to see the Vatican give something up... voluntarily. Edited December 5, 2019 by DieChecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Walt' E. Kurtz Posted December 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Why do I think of Monty Python's flying circus movie life of Brian when I read this. :-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
