Rag and Bone: A Journey Among the World's Holy Dead

Peter Manseau

Synopsis:
A lighthearted assessment of human relics that have become sacred objects in a variety of faiths is told through a series of pilgrimage tales, including a Californian's visit to a Jerusalem convent in search of a nun's disembodied hand, a French forensics expert's metro journey with a saint's rib, and the ticket-collecting duties of a pair of brothers at a Syrian mosque.
