The above is the Manoppello Image. It is said to be the veil laid over Jesus, and the image was created with his first breath after coming back to life. Obviously, not a high level holy relic. More along the lines of a beginner cartoonist. But, there are those that will venerate it as holy object.
One can understand how some objects such as the Shroud of Turin and the Crown of Thorns can bring about serious veneration and belief that they are real…but such objects as the above? Mary`s milk, the Holy Prepuce, pieces of the cross…?
When do you think honest belief in relics goes over the top?
