For 1000 years people of that church thought that the piece of wood embedded in the cross in their church was part of Jesus' actual cross brought to Rome by Constantine's mother, Helen only to be proven to be a new piece of wood that was less than 1000 years.
By the way, that guy Reza Aslan is one courageous guy. In the episode last Sunday he was in Haiti doing a piece on Voodoo and toward the end the guy who the spirit was in had a machete on Reza's head pressing it but not cutting Reza. Wonder what he will be doing next week.

Reza is one brave dude. Saw him also in India. The Indian "cannibal" started pissing in his hand and drinking it. I also watched the Haiti episode. I had to switch away when they brought the black ram goat to be sacrificed. I could not watch them doing any killing. I am not sure I trust those voodoo people. Tasting the raw goat blood was strange.
