Notice as the Lord's face turns that his beard under his chin is in a wave going back toward his neck and pressed up under his chin as if by wrappings.

I never noticed before what appears to be a heavily piped tunic collar.

What I think I can see is the swelling on the bridge on His nose, as if it had been broken by a blow or a fall. It also looks like there is a small part of His beard missing, maybe pulled?

I wish they had the same images for the rest of the body. I struggled to look at the right shoulder and maybe there's evidence of bruising by the weight of the cross.

Before anybody starts making fan of me, let me mention that I am not Roman Catholic, but as a chemistry graduate student I got a chance to listen to the head of the team that analyzed the Shroud in the late 70s or early 80s (my memory is not so good these days). I don't have any doubt that is THE shroud!

His features look more like that of a western European than that of a Middle-Eastern Jew.

I’ve always believed the Shroud of Turin to be a clever artist’s hoax from the Middle Ages, and this does nothing to change my mind.

Does Our Lord have a phyllactery on his forehead?
