Sandals of Christ, Religious relic in Prüm, Germany
The Sandals of Christ consist of fabric remains preserved at the Prüm Abbey, representing footwear attributed to Jesus of Nazareth.
Pope Stephen II presented these sandals to Pepin the Short in 754, who later donated them to Prüm Abbey as documented in a deed from 762.
Medieval Christians viewed these relics as physical connections to Jesus, making Prüm Abbey a destination for religious pilgrims seeking spiritual experiences.
The Prüm Abbey maintains these religious artifacts under specific preservation conditions while allowing scheduled visits for religious observation.
The sandals contributed to a power competition between religious institutions, leading to Prüm's eventual subordination to Trier in 1574.
