I would think that the Blessing would be worth the most. I don't know if there is a market for such things. Peace be with you!
2 :
Put it up for sale on ebay if you want to know how valuable it is. One person's trash is another one's treasure.
3 :
Monetarily or ritualistically, no, not particularly. Were he canonized, the picture would be considered a Class II relic and would have ritualistic value, possibly some slight monetary value. Enjoy it for its sentimental value.
4 :
who cares if it is valuable. it is family history
5 :
Oh come now, collectables? If it is valuable sell it and give it to the poor. Not so long from now what of anything of this world of mammon will be "worth" anything? It is all worthless that is not of LOVE. Do not store up your treasures upon Earth, but store up your treasures in HEAVEN where moth and rust do not rot. LOVE your neighbor as yourself. Amen.

If the Vatican asked you to hunt down a demon which of these three would you pick as your weapon specialty?Why

If the Vatican asked you to hunt down a demon which of these three would you pick as your weapon specialty?Why
Okay imagine this: The Vatican has asked you to hunt down fierce demons that have run amok. Which of the three weapon types would you prefer? 1. Guns (Can be any model, Biretta, Ingram, M-16, whatever. Only difference is your gonna be using silver bullets and stuff) 2. Bladed Weapon (Can be anything as long as it's a close-range combat weapon e.g. sword, katana, spear. Note: Best give it a special property though, so it'll work best) 3. Prayer (Before you laugh, I mean stuff like Hymns, Prayers for Exorcism, healing powers, Holy Water and all. On an interesting note though, this method is the closest to the actual thing) Happy Hunting! P.S. I actually wondered if I should've posted this in the R & S Category but they're only a few people there with a creative imagination. The rest just kept throwing rocks at each other. Besides, if somebody here could ask what'd they do if zombies attacked then why can't I ask a similar question? Hey who's givin the massive thumbs down!? Is it a crime against humanity to use your imagination? You wanna thumbs down something go to the R&S Category! People are trying to have fun here! >:(

I'd go with both a gun using bullets made by some famous silver holy relic, like the silver cross of some church or something, and I'd have a rapier blessed by the pope and made of the exact same material. I wouldn't use prayer, because I'm a Vampire, God hates me. But the Hellsing Organization uses me for good.
2 :
Why do you have an obsession for weapons?
3 :
I'd go with number 3. You need real power when the going gets tough.
4 :
I'm operating under the assumption that demons are real, and the Vatican is the foundation of the "true religion". Guns.
5 :
cool question. I would use a katana made from silver because that would be so COOL! lol and i would look cool too. :D then i would use prayers...i always imagined myself saying some prayers and all evil went *poof*. so that would be nice :D just like someone said prayers are important because maybe the vampire-chief doesn't die from bullets or swords. gibberish gibberish and dracula is ash. :))
6 :
My physical weapon of choice is a katana. Most demons however are quasi-physical, which means they must be broken down internally by energies first. Then the incarnative shell can be physically destroyed. I have my own agenda however and do not work in conjunction with any particular religious system.
7 :
I would use guns....and they would be help full if the zombies show up too.
8 :
None of the above.........LOVE I am a Warrior of Light...All in the universe is Energy... One can not destroy or remove energy ... only transmute it. Change it. Come in love and you stop opposing forces in their tracks cause it don't know how to deal will that which gives what it lacks.....when the lack is aquired it is at peace.

two Uzis in hip straps, two 9 mm in leg straps, a sniper on my back, and holding a M-16 aw yea
10 :
