During the restoration of a Spanish church, a memorial from 1777 was discovered in the statue of Jesus. The historical document was hidden in a small column of the wooden Jesus statue. It is about the economic and social life of the time, about local customs, celebrities and games.
In the pictures you can see two well-preserved leaves, which are written in beautiful, calligraphic script. The document is signed by the priest Joaquin Minguez from the Burgo de Osma Cathedral. The original was put into the archive, a copy remained in the statue for the next generations.

I feel like they should have kept a copy and put the original back, how is that not like going into a cave and breaking a stalagmite off?

“Senior Keanu Reeves is an excellent actor and a good person too. There is a running joke that he never ages. How silly.” That priest ~1777.

Those documents are probably now on a very short list of valuable things removed from someone's butt

Perhaps Jesus unionized workers against the Jewish bankers and businessmen. Like an ancient Jimmy hoffa.

No joke. It really was! Underneath a small piece of cloth that covers his rear end according to ifls.com

Maybe it was in his penis and they just reached in through his ass? Small column confirmed.

Jesus angrily insists it's a medium column at worst, and it's really cold in that cathedral.

Next time someone asks you what would Jesus do, one of the options is now "hide stuff in his ass".

Isn't that regular thing at the border, Jesus comes stuff up in his ass, so we can snort it in our noses.
