      1. My favourite story from Holy Week is when Jesus was on the cross and he got thirsty so the Romans dipped a sponge in vinegar, lifted it to Jesus' mouth on a stick, and Jesus took one sip and then straight up died.

      Like, I like nice wine as much as the next man but dying right then and there because some bad wine has passed betwixt your lips is pure Jesus-as-drama-queen and I love it.

    Anyway, that sponge touched Jesus so it became a holy relic - the Holy Sponge - and apparently it's in the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Sponge
