Thank you for that reply. My puzzle is that the pictures I see of those with the stigmata show the wound in the center of the hand. I am wondering if the shroud is right then why not the same location for those with the stigmata.

Dr.Zugibe has worked on crucifixion experiments and has shown the nail going through the palm (in the fold of the thumb) and then downward and exiting at the top of the wrist. This gave better support and satisfies both the Shroud image as well as those who have shown the stigmata.
