After Pentecost the Apostles decided that they would send the Apostle Thaddeus also known as Jude to the king in Edessa. The runner arrived on the day we call Palm Sunday and Jesus was occupied. He sent the letter by his fastest runner with the added request that if Jesus could not come would the runner at least draw a picture of Jesus so that he could see what He looked like. The king had leprosy and had been told that Jesus could cure leprosy.
The most plausible begins with King Akbar of Edessa writing a letter to Jesus asking him to come to Edessa. There are a variety of versions of the early history of the shroud prior to 1349. The shroud itself has suffered burns and water damage over the years and has been repaired and restored multiple times. The negative image shows the blood on the forehead forming an epsilon while the original image shows the same blood stain as the letter E: the mirror image what appeared on Jesus’ forehead. Negative Facial Image Original Facial Image The shroud is the most studied historical artifact in the world. The image you see is as if walking up to Jesus. That makes it a positive image allowing all the wounds to be visible.
The picture shown in this document (following the Sorrowful Mysteries) is a negative of the negative image on the Shroud. He has also experienced a stab wound on the right side between the 5th and 6th rib that occurred after death.
#THE SHROUD OF TURIN FULL#
There are no other documented cases where an individual has endured both a full body scourging, a crucifixion, as well as a crowning with thorns (The signature of Jesus the Nazarene).
He has been crucified according to Roman custom however, he has also worn a crown of thorns and has endured a separate scourging over his entire body below his neck. The individual on the Shroud has been identified as of Semitic origin. The long hair and beard could denote a Nasserite as it was the custom of Israelites under a Nasserite vow to neither cut their hair nor trim their beard. The man has long hair pulled back into a pony tail and a long beard. (1.8 m) tall, very tall in an age where the average man was under 5’ 6” (1.68 m). The Shroud contains a negative image of a man crucified according to Roman custom but who was separately scourged over his entire body and was crowned with thorns. It measures exactly 2 cubits (.91 meter) (3 ft 7 in) by 8 cubits (3.66 meters) (14 ft, 3 inches). The Shroud is a linen cloth with a herringbone weave of a type that was in use among the Essenes during the 1st century.
