"Were we to add up the pieces of the original cross that are supposed to be kept in churches all over the world it would have been a gigantic one, much too big to be real (it was also, it seems, composed of several different types of wood some of which were not indigenous to where the crucifixion is said to have taken place – were we to accept all these artefacts as ‘real’ ). Or if we added together the various bones of various saints held in reliquaries all over the world we would have some very strange many-armed, many-fingered, many-legged and multiple headed Saints. "

agree  Caryl Swift: Yes - I hadn't considered that it might be referring to e.g. a group of dancers (or a painting/sculpture of a group). If it is, then yes, this would be far better :-)
