The Shroud of Turin is nothing more than the burial clothes that Jesus was wrapped in, when placed in Tomb, where he arose.
Quote: Question: “What is the significance of the folded napkin in Christ’s tomb after the resurrection?” Answer: The detail of the folded napkin is found in the account of Jesus’ resurrection in John 20:7, “And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself” (KJV). Different respected translations of the Bible handle this ... from death and removed them. unquote.
Not complicated, as most try to explain the anointing on the clothers from the miracle of Rising from the Dead.
I apologize for late answer, I have been away from my computer for some time.
Right, of course.
My point was that we are not discussing faith on this thread, but rather questions of archaeology, chemistry, history, etc.
Each time someone posts something about the Shroud, there are dozens of posts about Christian faith not being about relics. I wanted to minimize those.
