To carry it a little further, doesn't anyone think it's funny that it's a common "conceptual image" of Jesus?

I'm that rarest of birds, one who doesn't have an opinion on the shroud either way. It won't change my faith one iota if it's fake, or if it's true.

You pose a good question, but I'd have to ask - where did the conceptual images *come* from? :D

By "Conceptual image of Jesus" I take it you mean 'a guy with a beard'.

That's pretty unusual.....especially for the Jews in those days!
