FINO A Drogheda c’è una testa mozzata di 400 anni fa nella loro chiesa. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/st-olivers-head-st-peters-church di jonesZ_NC
4_feck_sake on 09/05/2024 10:49 Not just any severed head, martyred sain oliver plunketts severed head.
chocolatenotes on 09/05/2024 10:51 If it ever goes missing it shouldn’t be hard to find another severed head around drogheda
Prestigious_Talk6652 on 09/05/2024 10:53 The whole relic thing is gruesome and should be eliminated. Talk about witchcraft. Apparently there was a big trade in parts of saints back in the day. The church made a fortune from them.
Prestigious_Talk6652 on 09/05/2024 10:58 Not looking bad though in fairness. Still has all his teeth.
micar11 on 09/05/2024 11:04 Brought my French nephew into see it the last time he was over. I hadn’t been in that church in years.
disagreeabledinosaur on 09/05/2024 11:08 You mean you weren’t brought to see it on a school tour at the age of 10? You missed out!
Able-Exam6453 on 09/05/2024 11:12 That church *also* has Blessed* Oliver Plunkett’s skull from when he was 13. I think he’s been canonised now, hasn’t he? But the ‘Blessed’ is so much a part of his name!
railwayed on 09/05/2024 11:15 yeah..i heard about it and had to go see it when i went past there. Felt kind of awkward taking a photo
Canners19 on 09/05/2024 11:27 Yeah one time my girlfriend said there was head for me in that church. I was very disappointed with what this was
molochz on 09/05/2024 11:36 That’s the most metal thing I’ve seen in a while. Gotta hand it to them death cults. They know how to party.
GrahamR12345 on 09/05/2024 11:49 Is that fly still buzzing about in there?? You’d swear the fly was immortal…

Where else would you keep a severed head?
Can bone even last that long?
I’m sceptical.
