The Face Cloth

• In the city of Oviedo Spain, there is a
  bloodstained piece of linen that many believe is
  one of the burial cloths mentioned in Johns
  Gospel.
• It is commonly known as the Sudarium of Oviedo.
• Tradition has it that this cloth, was used to
  cover Jesus bloodied face following his death on
  the cross.
• Forensic analysis of the bloodstains strongly
  suggests that the Sudarium and the Shroud
  covered the same human head at closely different
  times..

History..
34
The Mandylion

• The Mandylion was the facial image of Jesus which
  many thought to be the Vericona Cloth.
• It was also thought to be the Shroud folded in
  four, exposing only the face.
• The Edessa Cloth is generally considered to be
  the Mandylion.

35
The Edessa Cloth

• in AD 50 There is a Legend of a King Abgar of
  Edessa (modern day Turkey) sending for Jesus to
  come cure him of leprosy. Jesus did not come,
  but a cloth bearing the image of Jesus arrived
  and Abgar was cured.
• After the death of King Abgar there is no further
  mention of the cloth.
• In AD 525, a major flood in Edessa damaged the
  city gate.
• This exposed a hiding place in which the Edessa
  Cloth was re-discovered.

36
Moved to Constantinople

• In AD 943 Byzantine Emperor
  Romanus of Constantinople wanted the Edessa
  Cloth. He sent his army to negotiate with the
  Moslems which had held Edessa since 639.
• The agreed upon price was paid.
• - Immunity from attack.
• -12,000 pieces of silver.
• -Release of 200 prisoners.
• The Edessa Cloth was then taken to
  Constantinople..

37
The Edessa Cloth is Lost to History

• In 1204 during the Fourth Crusade, the
  city of Constantinople was sacked and looted.
• The Edessa Cloth disappeared from History,
  never to be seen again.
• Members of the Knights Templar were
  known to have been involved.

38
The Knights Templar Connection..

• In 1307, two leaders of the Knights
  Templar were burned at the stake. One was Jacques
  de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar .
  The other was Geoffrey de Charney,
  Precepitor of Norway.
• 46 years later, another Geoffrey de
  Charney produced the Shroud of Turin. He was
  the 1st known owner of the Shroud.
• This may explain why Charney (number 2)
  was reluctant to tell where the Shroud came
  from..

39
1st recorded Public Showing of the Shroud of
Turin..

• Geoffrey de Charney was the first known
  owner of the Shroud of Turin. He put it on
  public display in Lirey France in 1353. 146
  years after the disappearance of the Edessa
  Cloth.
• He never told how he came to possess it.
• No documentation has ever been discovered to
  link the two Charney families..

40
It has been well Documented to Present day..

• 1353 - Revealed by Geoffrey de Charney in
  Lirey, France.
• 1452 de Charney's granddaughter sold the
  cloth to the Duke of Savoy in exchange for two
  castles.
• 1532 - The burial linen was severely damaged
  by fire in Chambery France.
• 1578 - The cloth was moved to Turin Italy
  for safe keeping, and remains there until this
  day.
• 1983 - The Shroud of Turin is bequeathed to
  the Catholic Church by ex-king Umberto II .

42
What is the Shroud then..
43
It is NOT a painting..

• There are no color pigments that pass beyond the
  top fibers of the cloth.
• - A Liquid medium would soak into the cloth..
  
• - A Powder medium would fall between the
  fibers..
• Neither is present..

44
Its More like a Photograph..

• The image is formed only on the very top of the
  fibers of the cloth.
• The Dimensional effect is created by the density
  of the image.
• This image was produced in a negative format.
• .
• .

45

• In 1898, it was discovered that the image on the
  Shroud is truly a negative.
• When a photograph is taken of the Shroud, the
  negative will display as a positive..

46
A Negative to a Positive..
47
It has 3 Dimensional Qualities..

• When the Shroud is viewed with a computerized
  VP-8 image enhancer, amazingly, we see a
  three-dimensional image formed..
• A photograph of the Shroud will also behave this
  way..
• But, a photograph of any other object, will not
  enhance like this..
• .

48
58 different pollens have been identified on the
Shroud.

• Of these, 28 are native to Israel.
• 27 of the 28 bloom only in the Spring.
• 14 come from Turkey.
• The rest come from Europe.

49
Pollen evidence show its most likely Historical
path..

  the Shroud - - - - gtgtgt
