ORIGIN STORIES ;;; The word "Testify"

 May be an image of text that says 'In the time of Jesus, men would hold their testicles while swearing that what they said was true. Since the testicles are the source of life, this behavior meant swearing on the future of the family. The English words "testify" meaning to swear and 'testament' meaning to testify are derived from this tradition. The image shows the elected pope being checked for testicles. There can be no pope without testicles!'
