[Just mythoughts]

You’re still not answering how we know that only a relative could go to the Romans and collect the body of Jesus.

What was the ROMAN law? You think just anybody could go to the Roman government and asked to collect the body of Christ. What kind of proof do you required?

I don’t know what happened to Mary. I’d be happy to acknowledge the Shroud being what you claim it is if I thought that was the case, but I don’t.

That Shroud still exists alll these many years later and here we have the testers for some unknown reason willing to retest. Now personally speaking it does NOT change my faith whether it be authentic burial cloth of Christ or not. It is rather amusing that it stillllll gets the attention of the naysayers.

Well, how about a quote for the Roman law. Or verification from one of the ancient Roman writers.
