This would then tend to contradict the carbon dating of the shroud to the 13th century. The Sudarium has a documented history hundreds of years older than the assumed date of the shroud
The 13th century result has been proven erroneous due to a repair known as "French reserving."
Unfortunately, the preservative medium in which the Shroud has been stored since the original carbon dating precludes an accurate result were the Shroud tested again from a pristine sample.
The Sudarium has a documented history hundreds of years older than the assumed date of the shroud.
Wrong. That date has been proven wrong. Both cloths are from the same time.
The carbon dating was botched. The piece of cloth used wasn’t part of the Shroud.
That’s been debunked. The sample used in the carbon dating test came from an area that had been patched. Microscopic views of that particular area showed a much different material pattern than the rest of the shroud.
The carbon dating of the shroud was based on samples taken from a portion of the shroud that had been repaired by its caretakers long after the shroud was woven.
There are other issues with the carbon dating as well, but this alone is enough to invalidate the carbon dating.
To me, one of the most fascinating aspects of the shroud is the match between the painting of Jesus Christ by Akiane Kramarik. I have met Akiane and her family. According to them, facial recognition software has been used to compare her painting with the image on the shroud. They are a match.
We have a giclee of her painting of Jesus Christ hanging in a place of honor on a wall in our home.
