At some point in my travels, in some remote Catholic church, I saw a beautiful jewel-encrusted silver reliquary containing the shriveled and dried foreskin of Jesus, which did not accompany the rest of His body in the Ascension. Unfortunately, I do not recall where and when that was.

I understand that there are several examples of this holy relic scattered throughout Europe. Either Jesus' divineid admixture resulted in multiple Cthulhu-like appendages, or most of the prepuciae are spurious.

So, does anyone know where they are located, and which, if any, is genuine?

It may have been in Calcata, Italy, if you travelled there before 1983, as it was stolen that year.

I believe all of the other ones have been destroyed or lost.

The English version of wikipedia mentions that someone failed to find any Italy. The French version mentioned three villages that may have them but I don't recall visiting any of them.
