“The image was imbedded in the Shroud as it fell through Jesus’ body at the moment of resurrection.”

Sometimes the limits of my intellect embarrass me.

I had never heard of this theory and had never considered the possibility...but it makes complete and utter sense to explain the image.

I don’t *need* the Shroud to believe that Jesus was resurrected but I love the idea that it is really the cloth that touched His body and that it has survived to the present day!

Thanks for the ping. I believe the Shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus. I think his body was dematerialized in the tomb, and that is what made the image on the Shroud, but I don’t know how it was done.

Why is the head "hinged"? If he was translated and the image burned in, where's the top of his head?
