okay ,i will slip a statue into the fire with your body and make you a miracle
As long as you promise that after you have done it and everyone is raving how there is a statue there you come forward and tell everyone how it is done.

Jerusalem, the land of relics has been fraught with wars and unrest over 'miracles' like this.

Padre Pio who had the 'stigmata' for all his life was revealed as a fraud after his death when they found out he had a standing order for a type of acid that opened the wounds in his hands and kept them open for most of his life.

Relics generate lots of cash for the church/monastary/nunnery/temple etc. that keeps/owns them.

You would do well to remember that.

smoker Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.
