Quite comprehensive...

More succinct, and the truth I suspect. No blood - therein lies the key.

Here we have more KRS style wishful thinking revealed... the very words 'secret
testing' make one either laugh or despair - or both.

Let's face it, it looks medieval, it is covered in medieval paint and it
appeared in medieval times. There is no blood, no Holy DNA and no indication
that it is genuine, other than in the imagination of believers.

So, we have to ask the question - where is the real one? Any ideas?
