What if the author is correct about it being used in an Easter Ritual, AND the reason they used that piece of cloth was because it was reputed to be the burial cloth of Christ ?

I believe that pollen studies on the fabric ,
indicate that the shroud is from an earlier era.

Better, more scientific men than he have examined the negative image that is almost photographically imprinted into the very fibers of the fabric and came away scratching their heads. The naysayer’s name is Fischer? Jewish, possibly? If so, I would not consider him a prime candidate to render an opinion on a Christian relic; especially after numerous true scientists have exhaustively examined the negative image on the shroud and are at a loss to explain, scientifically, how it got there.

Years after the Easter Festival the shroud was sold as an authentic to gullibles that bought it to increase their parish prestige and offerings
