Thanks for the correction. But was not the repair done because of a fire? Rather than saying “scorched patch” maybe I should have said “scorch that was patched”?
No. This area of the Shroud was not damaged in fire and was not burned. This was a corner where, over the years, it was handled, hung, and abused. It got frayed and worn, perhaps torn. It was essentially so worn out after a thousand years of being held up by that corner it had to be darned. No scorch there.
