That's not merch, that's the Veil of Veronica. Very significant catholic story/artifact. The story is that when she wiped the blood and sweat off of Jesus his face appeared on the cloth. You'll find depictions of this in most old catholic churches and many paintings

- Damn, that sounds like some real valuable one of a kind kinda merch he's hocking.
  
  GET YOUR VEIL OF VERONICA RIGHT HERE!
  ONE OF A KIND!
  GENUINE AUTHENTIC VEIL OF VERONICA!
- pretty sure it's supposed to be a joke
- I thought it was the shroud of turin I'm a bad catholic
  
  We're all bad Catholics, that's the whole point of Catholicism!
- I love how seriously Catholics took their fanfic to the point that they have Saints based solely on myth and "cool story bro" scenarios
  
  You will be shocked but absolutely everything in Catholicism is based on myth and "cool story bro" scenarios.
- think again

  that is THE MERC that started it all, merc zero.
  "The Veil was owned by the Leonelli family until 1608. Pancrazio Petrucci, a soldier married to Marzia Leonelli, stole the Veil from his father-in-law's house. A few years later, Marzia sold it for 400 scudi to Doctor Donato Antonio De Fabritiis to pay a ransom demand for her husband, who was then a prisoner in Chieti."

Front of shirt: "Went to the crucifixion of Christ and all I got was this stupid T-shirt..."
Back of shirt: "... and absolution for my sins"
- The people celebrating the Crucifixion probably didn't believe in all that dying for sins stuff right?
  
  Nobody did, as it was not yet written.

Rule of acquisition #162: Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit.

For everyone who's read Discworld, I imagine that's Dibbler.

This is the perfect time to recommend the funniest series of games I've ever played:
Four Last Things
The Procession to Calvary
Death of the Reprobate (not out yet, but the demo confirms that it is going to be most excellent)
The scene in the OP appears in The Procession to Calvary.

IF Trump gets sentenced for his coup, I want a recreation of this photo where he walks to court and someone is selling his ugly Shoes.
- Coup attempt. He failed even at that. While he was the most powerful man on the planet.
- He's already selling his AI mugshots, he's got NFT's (I think I have one to show you). You think that grifter gives a shit about his failed coup attempt?

That might even be somebody showing off what they bought. It might be more "succeeded" than "tried"

Famous scene from the Polish movie "Krzyżacy" (Knights of the Teutonic Order, 1960) where the travelling salesman tries to sell various relics, among them rung from a ladder that Jacob dreamt of.
