Supposedly the foreskin of Jesus was kept after his circumcision.

I understand that it may or may not exist. If it does exist, I am curious to your thoughts on the following questions.

1. What would this mean to you? Would mean we can now be sure he existed.
2. What would this prove? That he existed, and had a circumcision performed on him.
3. Why would we have a part of Jesus/God on earth, left behind? Sometimes people leave things behind after they die.
4. Would this be the most important relic or is there something more important as a relic? Since it would literally be the only relic of Jesus, yes, it would be the most important by default.

The Roman Catholic Church ended controversy over competing relics by ruling in 1900 that anyone writing or speaking of the holy prepuce would be excommunicated.[5] In 1954, after much debate, the Vatican changed the punishment to the harsher excommunication, vitandi (shunned).[5]

uh oh, yous in trouble

There is also the manna that was kept from the early OT days out there somewhere.
