"Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, died on the Cross for our salvation and on the third day, after being laid in the tomb, rose from the dead. Forty days later, He ascended Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity into Heaven. Therefore, the whole of Christianity is historically grounded in this reality. Jesus truly rose from the dead. His bones will never be unearthed in an archaeological dig in the Holy Land, because His bones are with the rest of His Body in Heaven.

That being said, there are many relics from Jesus’ life that are possible. For example, there could exist pieces, part or entire, the burial cloth of Christ, a piece of wood from the manger in which the newborn Christ was laid, and articles of the crucifixion."
