[AP] Jan. 13, 2005 – Fragments of items that Christ is believed to have touched some 2,000 years ago are coming to various Catholic churches around Arizona next month.

The Arizona Knights of Columbus is coordinating the state’s portion of the “Relics of the Passion Tour.”

Scheduled items will include a sliver of wood from the cross on Calvary, a piece of wood from the table of the Last Supper in the Upper Room, a fragment of a thorn from the “crown of thorns” put on Christ’s head as he hung on the cross, a nail containing steel shavings from an original nail that held Christ on the cross and a fragment of the exterior wrapping of the famed Shroud of Turin in which Christ’s body was wrapped. . . .
