{{further|Relic of the Holy Blood}}
Christian teaching states that [[Ascension of Jesus|Christ ascended into heaven corporeally]]. Therefore, the only parts of his body available for [[veneration]] are those obtained prior to the Ascension. At various points in history, a number of churches in Europe have claimed to possess the [[Holy Prepuce]], Jesus' [[foreskin]] from his [[Circumcision of Jesus|Circumcision]]; tears shed by Christ when mourning Lazarus; the blood of Christ shed during the crucifixion; a milk tooth that fell out of the mouth of Jesus at the age of 9; beard hair, head hair, Christ's nails.<ref>[[Jacques Collin de Plancy|Jacques Albin Simon Collin de Plancy]].
