From Luke 23

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.


Nowhere does it state that Jesus’ body was washed. It was paramount that burial take place before sundown/Sabbath began. Joseph of Arimathea had to get this done and then get cleansed from handling a corpse, also before sundown. The women brought the spices after the Sabbath was over.

The operative words: “probably fake”... which means it’s just so much speculation... as like the word “may” that also means “may not”... “probably” also means “probably not”.

Many who have studied the Shroud have commented... based on the image (a 3D photo negative, source unknown)... the only bigger “miracle” that it be real... is it be “fake”. As of now... NO process to explain the image as man-made has been found. #HeIsRisen!
