Far from it. Stories of the Divine Prepuce abound. The Viennese Beguine
Agnes Blannbekin (d. 1315) had the sensation of swallowing it when she
received the Host at Communion. Moreover, she did it again and again.
On one occasion she felt ‘a little piece of skin alike the skin in an
egg’ on her tongue, which she swallowed ‘about a hundred times’.
See Ulrike Wiethaus, Agnes Blannbekin, Viennese
Beguine: ‘Life and Revelations’, translated from the
Latin with Introduction, Notes and Interpretive Essay
(Cambridge: Brewer, 2002), p. 35.
