It seems that Eamon Duffy "Faith of Our Fathers", p42, does not share your certainty.<br /><br />He tells a story however of the visit of a northern bishop to a department of the Vatican in charge of relics. After producing a list of improbable saints to tease the friar in charge he asked if they had a relic of St George.
