It doesn’t matter what Jesus was buried in. It matters that the burial cloth was used for only three days, then discarded.

Let’s worship the Savior, not souvenirs.

The Catholic bashers have arrived. Thanks for that pithy comment and the charity in which it was delivered. I'm sure someone is as proud of you as you are of yourself.

Since the woman with an issue of blood was healed by touching the *fringe of Christ’s garment* it is not surprising that such “souvenirs” are venerated in traditional Christianity.

“25And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (Mark 5:25-34)

I've been trying to get this point across for ages whenever an article like this is posted. It seems as though no one listens to this reasoning as it is easier to worship items like pieces of cloth or images showing up on toast instead of just having true faith and not needing to worship items (yes it is worship).

GREAT POINTS.

Do you mean to insinuate that someone worships "souvenirs" (like, presumably, the Shroud)?

If so, who?

Let me put a finer point on that for all:

Worship the creator not His creation.
