Thousands flock to see some ridiculous belt that is supposed to have magical powers:

Personally, I can think of 642,092,294,345 better ways to waste time. Especially since it's below freezing there, and the average wait is 26 hours.

May I ask if Protestants are as prone to this kind of veneration of stuff they assume to be from the time of Jesus, as their Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox brethren are?

Yes they are. I know of one whose purpose in life seem to be to save up enough so she can retire and go live in Isreal, where closer proximity to where her savior supposedly died and rotted would enable her to form a closer to a personal relationship with the compost.

A belt with magical powers? Pfft. I've got a jacket that you can pull inside out and wear it with a different color.

I wonder how many of those people came down with colds or the flu after kissing that belt that was kissed by a couple hundred other people in line before them?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Hey if Mary had a belt maybe she could have kept her pants on when the holy ghost came sniffing around. We'd have a lot less trouble in the world today.

The stupidity of the religious nonetheless never fails to amaze me.
