St. Boniface's relics are at the Basilica in Fulda, Germany, but I can't believe that--(last time I was there)--they would keep his skull relic in the museum, rather than inside the basilica.

@Trady: I have read that the Christmas tree is associated with St. Boniface, the apostle of Germany, and not St. Willibrod--in any case, thank you for the information.
