The Holy Umbilical Cord is a relic associated with Jesus. Christian teaching generally states that Christ was assumed into heaven corporeally. Therefore the only parts of his body available for veneration are parts he had lost prior—hair, blood, fingernails, milk teeth, his prepuce and the umbilical cord remaining from his birth.
