A glitzy copper box containing two lead vials with what
Catholics believe is the 2,000-year-old blood of Jesus
Christ will soon be returned to the French abbey in
Normandy from which it was stolen June 1.
Dutch art detective Arthur Brand, whose sleuthing has
led to the recovery of countless pieces of priceless
art including gold stolen by Hitler and masterpieces by
the likes of Picasso, says he was able to retrieve the
blood vials and several other artifacts after the
clueless thief got scared.

The person who retrieved the trunk of treasures from
the original thief then reached out to Brand, who had
been actively searching for the stolen items. “This is
as close as one can get to Jesus Christ, The Knights
Templar and the Holy Grail,” Brand tweeted after he
recovered the items. “As a Catholic myself and a huge
Dan Brown fan, it doesn’t get any better.”
Brand said the person who ended up with the loot—who
Brand does not think is the person who stole it—made an
arrangement to drop the stolen relics at Brand’s home.
“This person was approaching me on behalf of another,
at whose home the stolen relics were being stored,”
Brand told AFP. “To have the ultimate relic, the blood
of Jesus in your home, stolen, that’s a curse.”
Brand then waited for more than a week for the return
of the art. “I was virtually a prisoner in my own home
for a week. I could not leave,” he told AFP.
The relics were stolen from the Fecamp Abbey near
Calais, France, after thieves hid after abbey was
closed and spent the night pilfering artifacts just two
weeks before the “Sacred Blood Celebration” was to be
held in which the blood would taken out for worshipers
to pray to. In addition to the blood vials—which have
drawn droves of Catholic pilgrims each year for the
last 1,000 years—the thieves stole a chalice, a
ciborium, liturgical dishes, and other works of art and
pieces of gold.
The blood in question was kept in a copper box
decorated with blue inlays and miniature steeples and
is said to have been collected from Jesus’ body when he
was crucified more than 2,000 years ago and dumped in
the sea in a sealed case. The blood was originally kept
in the infamous Holy Grail and then distributed to
various Catholic pilgrimage sites like the Fecamp
abbey.

But the thieves who stole the relics clearly found they
had no value on the black market—especially after news
of the June theft—so packed them up and dumped them on
the interloper who contacted Brand.
Brand told the BBC that he believes that the thieves
“had no idea what it was” but luckily did not destroy
the items. “When they realized what it was, that you in
fact cannot sell it, they knew they had to get rid of
it.”

The basilica is best known as the repository of a
venerated phial said to contain a cloth with blood of
Jesus Christ, brought to the city by Thierry of Alsace
after the 12th century Second Crusade.[7][8] Although the
Bible never mentions Christ's blood being preserved, Acts
of Pilate - one of the apocryphal gospels - relates that
Joseph of Arimathea preserved the Precious Blood after he
had washed the dead body of Christ; legends of Joseph were
popular in the early thirteenth century, connected also
with the emerging mythology of the Holy Grail.[9] Popular
legend claims that the phial was taken to Bruges during
the Second Crusade of CE 1147–1149, by Thierry of Alsace,
who returned from Jerusalem with the relic of the Holy
Blood presented to him by his brother-in-law Baldwin III
of Jerusalem, as the reward of his great services.[7]
Recent research found no evidence of the presence of the
relic in Bruges before the 1250s.[8] In all likelihood,
the relic originated from the 1204 sack of Constantinople
by the army of the Count of Flanders, Baldwin IX during
the Fourth Crusade.[8] Ever since, the phial has played a
big part in the religious life of the city.[10] Pope
Clement V issued a papal bull in 1310 granting indulgences
to pilgrims who visited the chapel to view the relic; the
blood was supposed to liquefy weekly at noon on Fridays;
the miracle apparently ceased the same year, though a
recurrence was alleged in 1388.[7] There is no definitive
evidence for or against the authenticity of the relic
