The other thing from Wilsnack: a case of the lesser
relics and offerings owned by the shrine, in addition to its prize relic (three
bleeding Hosts). You will of course recognise this as …
… a whale vertebra: but not, it seems, just any whale
vertebra. This comes from Jonah’s actual whale.
I’m
actually not at all convinced that anyone really claimed that in the Middle
Ages, but it’s too good a story to inquire into too closely.
