The remains of St. Thomas

The long staff that is visible,

 is supposed to be the spear that killed him.

( another example of the "old relic trade " ? )

 

This is supposed to contain

 a bone fragment of St. Thomas

         
         
   
         
         
 
 
 
       
     

There are drawings and texts which date back to 635 A.D. ....which refer to this  "Balance Rock".

How long it has actually been there is anybody's guess.
