Different rules for saints.

There's a random island somewhere near here that has a few bones of a saint. It's so weird. Like, why? This is the U.S. We don't have any saints.

Actually are apparently a few American saints

I guess I was being histrionic. I mean like none of the early saints with all their fancy relics and coveted bones. It's just bizarre to have a few scraps of bones on display when the guy or gal wasn't even from here.

Update: Not bones. A severed arm. Saint Edmund. Kind of want to go check it out.

It's a long way to go, but severing arms myself so I can see what they look like is frowned upon.

True
I saw a an severed arm at the Museum of war here in Ottawa as well as a severed foot and a bisected lung that had been effected by poison gas . It was both weird and interesting .
