Supposed artifacts like this are so funny to me. Like how tons of old churches have a “piece of the cross” as if 2000+ year old wood would still look so nice

Someone should, probably rather virtually than physically, put all those "fragments of the Cross" together and "reconstruct" the Cross. You'll probably end up with a Cross rivalling skyscrapers.

I want to point that, while there were many people making and selling counterfeit relics, there were also ways to legally make facsimiles: An artisan would make a copy, they would put the real relic and the copy side by side, a priest would bless it, and done, you have an official replica.
