    The Eibingen Relic Treasure is a collection of relics that Hildegard of Bingen received as a gift during her lifetime or collected herself. They were formerly located in the Rupertsberg Monastery and were saved from destruction during the Thirty Years' War by the abbess there, Anna Lerch von Dirmstein.

    Today they are located in the former parish church of St. Hildegard and St. John the Baptist in Eibingen.

    Relics:
    The head of St. Gudula, the national saint of Belgium and patroness of the city of Brussels.
    The head of St. Bertha, the mother of St. Rupert of Bingen.
    The head of St. Valerian.
    The arm of St. Rupert of Bingen.
    The head of St. Wipert.
    In addition to these main relics, there are several smaller relics, including: also of the following saints: Bartholomew, Boniface, and Barbara.

      I find this Catholic tradition a bit creepy.
