So does the Shroud of Turin.

But it's a nice plate. Too bad it's broken.

Maybe the images are the recollections of someone who knew him before he grew a beard. Doesn't bother me one way or the other.

Though there is a certain element which haunts this forum who would denounce you as a heretic, cultist, etc. if you disagreed with them on the size, shape or even whether or not he had a beard. Had these people been living in John Calvin's time, they would have you burned at the stake or beheaded, so they have made some progress.

Or maybe they have just lost the power to do it . . .
