[Conservative til I die]

The shroud only presents a controversy for those who don't pay attention to the scriptural record.

Or presumptious people not paying attention to the thread. Look up the "Sudarium of Oviedo".

[Xcoastie]

If the Sudarium of Oviedo was used for cleaning and wrapping the head of Jesus and is the second part of the two linens described in the book of St. John. One for the head and one for the body. How then can the face of Christ be found on the Shroud of Turin?

To accept the Sudarium of Oviedo and the Shroud of Turin one must either discount the Shroud with the face of Christ or the scriptural account that two linens wrapped separate parts of Christ, not two linens wrapped his head.
