some other notes:

14 Italian Churches claim it and:

In addition to the Holy Foreskin claimed by Rome, other claimants in history have included the Cathedral of Le Puy-en-Velay, Santiago de Compostela, the city of Antwerp, Coulombs in the diocese of Chartres, France as well as Chartres itself, and churches in Besançon, Metz, Hildesheim, Charroux, Conques, Langres, Anvers, Fécamp, Puy-en-Velay, Calcata, Santiago de Compostela, and two in Auvergne. (Wikipedia)

it is mostly mentioned in the non cannonical infancy gospel, in an alabaster jar, looking backward to the gold/frankenscene/myhr and forward to the funeral spices (and the whole the poor will always be with us thing)

they didnt take the whole foreskin off, just a portion...the tip, whatever that means

Catherine of Seinna used the foreskin as a wedding ring, to Christ, in one of her visions. (this is really why i cant jump to the proddies)

the foreskin seems to be alot easier to write about then the holy bellybutton, but that was also a relic

this essay says what i was meaning to say, in less complicated ways.
