Jesus's foreskin is common
Pope keeps handing one out to everyone in the crusade. Unless Jesus's healing extended to his cut ♥♥♥♥ I doubt all of those are his.

So WHOS are they?

It's just a souvenir from the road acquired by priests on their many... travels...

Circumcision was not a practice for Christians

Anyone who writes "WRONG" has nothing worthwhile to say.

It's true though so maybe don't literally just disregard everything based on a word honey okay?

It's an accurate depiction of how "relics" worked in the medieval era. It wasn't uncommon for a single church to have enough "pieces of the true cross" to make three whole crosses or for a king to be given twelve of the same saint's fingers over the course of a week's audiences with foreign ambassadors. At one point Kent alone held two of John the Baptist's heads. Heck, even nowadays Jerusalem contains three churches in different parts of the city all claiming to be on the site of the crucifixtion.

TL;DR: There were a lot of fake relics around in the middle ages.

There was even a saint who the church proclaimed did a miracle on his death by leaving TWO bodies, so both churches claiming they had his body where officially right.^^

And there was one better known (forgot who, sadly) who's bones the pope officially gave to the frankish king as a present and a short time later had his bones moved to one of rome's churches in an official ceremony. (Mind you, whatever he gave the frankish king was still north of the alpes^^)

The old catacombs in rome from ancient times where actually kinda used like a "relic-mine"

Historically speaking, lots of prepuces were "found" I'm pretty sure the church got rid of the day of worship because the holy relic has been "found" so many times and replaced it with a new one. The Muslims have one similar it's Muhammad's beard hair strand.

Well, as you can see, supposedly unique relics were suspiciously common, but that was often, because feudal rulers and bishops were willing to pay hefty sums for any kind of relic, as many thought it would increase their chances to enter heaven.
Some more "practical" minds exploited this for their own benefit.

lmao win goes to the person who called another person "honey." give them all the prepuces

I can't imagine that you can be the son of god without being well endowed, so maybe it took them priests more then one snip to get it all?

Or if Jesus really had regenerative healing powers, his foreskin simply grew back and he had to remove it regularly like a haircut. You know, just trim it around the edges kind of deal.
