That's not merch, that's the Veil of Veronica. Very significant catholic story/artifact. The story is that when she wiped the blood and sweat off of Jesus his face appeared on the cloth. You'll find depictions of this in most old catholic churches and many paintings
Damn, that sounds like some real valuable one of a kind kinda merch he's hocking.
GET YOUR VEIL OF VERONICA RIGHT HERE!
ONE OF A KIND!
GENUINE AUTHENTIC VEIL OF VERONICA!
1 FOR 5, 3 FOR 10.
pretty sure it's supposed to be a joke
I thought it was the shroud of turin I'm a bad catholic
We're all bad Catholics, that's the whole point of Catholicism!
I love how seriously Catholics took their fanfic to the point that they have Saints based solely on myth and "cool story bro" scenarios
You will be shocked but absolutely everything in Catholicism is based on myth and "cool story bro" scenarios.
I guess it was like doing Instagram pranks without the internet. "Yoooo, an angel just totally appeared to me" just to get attention back in that days when everyone was bored as fuck. If someone believes your bullshit, and writes it down and hides it for a thousand years, suddenly it's a religious fact
Check it out, it's the bone from Jesus's boner! Totally legit! My guy found it back there beside the boulder.
Man, I don't think there are real bones inside boners. You're full of shit. Besides, didn't the dude get reincarnated? What, did he forget that bone?
Yeah well, go fuck yourself. I'm gonna go show this to someone who knows about this sort of thing.
2000 years later, the plaque on a gilded chest reads "The Sacred Bone of the Boner"
Boner bone? Pfft, everyone knows that boners don't have actual bones inside them.
Dude it says it right there on the plaque, who are you gonna believe, some dumb old science teacher or the Pope
I read somewhere about some secret tooth cherished by some sect that was destroyed by grinding it to dust, mixing with shit and throwing in to the ocean. But guess what? Some fishermen said that he totally found the tooth restored floating on a leaf next to the place where they threw it out. You can't fight believes with real world methods.
think again

that is THE MERC that started it all, merc zero.
"The Veil was owned by the Leonelli family until 1608. Pancrazio Petrucci, a soldier married to Marzia Leonelli, stole the Veil from his father-in-law's house. A few years later, Marzia sold it for 400 scudi to Doctor Donato Antonio De Fabritiis to pay a ransom demand for her husband, who was then a prisoner in Chieti."
should have been wearing less makeup then
Same thing happened to Forrest Gump

Front of shirt: "Went to the crucifixion of Christ and all I got was this stupid T-shirt..."
Back of shirt: "... and absolution for my sins"
The people celebrating the Crucifixion probably didn't believe in all that dying for sins stuff right?
Nobody did, as it was not yet written.
I know but the comment above mine said it would be written on a shirt and that's why I called it out.
This is a conversation about a hypothetical shirt I just wanted to be sure we fact check here lol
I was riffing off of you. For the record, I was not the downvoter. We should find that person and crucify them. /s
well there was probably awareness of ideas of sacrifice, punishment, right/wrong. Old ideas...
Always grinding .

For everyone who's read Discworld, I imagine that's Dibbler.
This is the perfect time to recommend the funniest series of games I've ever played:
The scene in the OP appears in The Procession to Calvary.
IF Trump gets sentenced for his coup, I want a recreation of this photo where he walks to court and someone is selling his ugly Shoes.
Coup attempt. He failed even at that. While he was the most powerful man on the planet.
He's already selling his AI mugshots, he's got NFT's (I think I have one to show you). You think that grifter gives a shit about his failed coup attempt?
That might even be somebody showing off what they bought. It might be more "succeeded" than "tried"
Famous scene from the Polish movie "Krzyżacy" (Knights of the Teutonic Order, 1960) where the travelling salesman tries to sell various relics, among them rung from a ladder that Jacob dreamt of.
