I thought that Jesus had his beard plucked out before he was crucified?
This is a very interesting interview with Jack Sacco who has done research on the shroud and how the image was made.

The Jews kept their hair short in line with biblical law. Apostle Paul wrote to believers in Corinth, explaining that it was a disgrace for a man to have long hair.
Seems odd the Romans are depicted with short hair yet the Jews with long hair.
Plucked is one of those hard to translate words. Pulled, plucked. It’s hard to imagine being able to pull a man’s beard off entirely.
And the world that would torture a sinless man to death hasn’t changed at all in over 2000 years.
“Interesting that God timed the crucifixion for an age when photography did not yet exist”
And during the time when Roman Roads were built which helped to facilitate communication of the word.

By His stripes we are healed
Thanks for the info.
A Reverent day indeed.
All good points. The utter depravity and savagery of the ritual of crucifixion in Roman times is unfamiliar to the world today, and these exhibits (like the movie) help familiarize people with the true nature of the event.
**But if you haven’t come to saving faith in Christ, you simply aren’t saved, despite being moved in viewing any object.**
And that faith is more that a confession. It’s obedience to the words that Jesus and his apostles spoke. And he commanded water and Spirit rebirth.
After suffering through the first three plagues with the Egyptians, the remaining plagues were miracles to the unaffected Israelites. The Passover saved the firstborn, and broke the bondage. However, the Israelites had to obey God by leaving that land and go to the promised land.... HIS way, not the expected land route to Canaan. God had Moses turn the people to the Red Sea.
It was at the Red Sea that the Israelites (including the already once spared firstborn) “were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea” (1 Cor. 10:2), and there received “the salvation of the LORD”.... “Thus the LORD saved Israel that day” (Ex. 14:13,30), as the Egyptian army was drowned.
Paul’s own testimony mentions of his being baptized to wash away his sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).
Thank you for posting this. It’s truly fascinating.
I wish I could understand why our Lord and savior had to be abused so and suffer so greatly in order to save the world. I don’t truly understand why the Creator’s Son had to become part man then suffer and die to somehow pay for the sins of humanity. At one point I read something and thought I grasped it but it faded away. I wish I could “get it.”
I am saved. Not looking to be evangelized, just saying, thanks.
I hope they don’t bring it here. Some democrat will toss gasoline on it.
Well noted. And when the Pax Romana, dated generally from 27 BC to 180 AD, greatly enhanced travelers' safety.
Moreover, God chose the Promised Land strategically, at the confluence of the three great continents.
God’s penalty for sin is death. Either you die or He dies. Choose.
I recall the actor who played Christ in The Passion told a reporter. “You do not play Christ without getting some of His Passion given to you.” After filming he had to have heart surgery, in another scene he was close enough to a lightning strike ( while on the cross) that he got shocked. His shoulder was also dislocated during that scene. At the pillory he was accidentally struck by one of the whips.
Jim Caviezal. When Mel Gibson realized he had the same initials as Jesus, it freaked him out, but he took it as a sign that he found the right guy.
“Eh. Maybe. It is an artists’ conception, based on a legend.”
The shroud is a physical object not a legend.
