Her right thumb

I can't say I *admire* successful scams but I can say that all my life

I have been fascinated by them.



Is there any religious organisation that has more successfully

parlayed body parts into fund-raising than the Roman Catholic church?

At San Domenico church in Sienna are a couple of body parts, including

this one, that are said to have come from the corpse of Saint

Catherine of Sienna. This is said to be her right thumb.



Most of the remainder of her body is (said to be) at St Peter's

Basilica in Rome which I also visited, but I neglected to look for her

foot in Venice.
