Skin from a 13th century religionist draws followers to a prayer meet. Why???

This simply seems utterly bizarre. But then, I personally don't join in the delusion that is religion.

Afterward, people were invited to venerate the relics, with many stroking or kissing the reliquary and touching Bibles to it.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/hundreds_at_staten_island_fria.html"><P>Rosaria Incantalupo of Eltingville was there to thank the saint for his intercession seven years ago, when she was cured of cancer.
