St. Catherine of Siena is said to have worn the foreskin of Jesus as a wedding ring.
I’m guessing the good sister (who is, by the way, a Doctor of the Church) had small fingers, because a Jewish circumcision is typically done when the baby boy is eight days old. Or maybe a preserved 1300-year-old foreskin has a lot of stretch to it, for all I know.
Google Images yields a number of illustrations, but I can’t post pictures, or even links, here in the Comments. If you do a search for the Holy Prepuce, though, you’ll find a lot interesting stories (some with pictures). For one thing, there are currently at least a dozen purported Jesus foreskins in various churches. So either Jesus had an exceptional endowment in that area, or some of these relics are fake (or at least misidentified).
