Race I didn't know if you were aware of this or not, but they also have the face napkin, and it also has this same face imprinted on it, when they laid it across the shroud it was obvious that the two matched.

When the muslims were pushing north in their conquest, the shroud took one route, the face napkin another each being moved farther north ahead of the invasion.

The sundown of the day of Christs temporary burial was the Sabbath, they did a hurried job when placing him in the tomb with the intention of returning to give him a proper entombment. But he had risen.

I can't write off the evidence, I'm still in a holding pattern until all the evidence is in. But they do in fact have the face napkin as well as the shroud.

MissPie, while they do have the cloth (the Sudarium of Oviedo) it bears only blood stains and no image. The positions of the blood stains on the Sudarium have a high correlation with blood stains on the Shroud, indicating that the blood stains may have come from wounds in similar locations on the body both may have covered.

The theory is that the Sudarium served as a temporary face covering, placed over the top of his head and draped down over his face, while Jesus's budy was removed from the cross, perhaps to shield his agonized face in rictus from his mother.

He was then transferred to the Shroud and the Sudarium, no longer needed to cover the face, was pressed into duty as a binding, rolled into a bandage-like strip and tied around his head, under the jaw and over the top, to keep his jaw closed in death when Rigor Mortis passed in a few hours.

The blood stains locations on both Shroud and Sudarium map to the same head wound locations and the blood type, AB, matches.
