Whyever not? After all, 24 hours = 4 days.
One thing that always seemed like a really bright red flag to me (aside form the other stuff, like it suddenly popping up in the 14th century), is that the image on it looks exactly like the typical Euro-Jesus that was popular in contemporary paintings and not the very ethnic looking Jew he almost certainly was.
Also interesting that Pope Clement VII was sufficiently less than impressed enough to call it a fake - in 1389.
Here is a link about that other cloth, called The Sudarium of Oviedo . It is claimed to be the cloth from the bible that Mangetout mentioned earlier. “Simon Peter, following him, also came up, went into the tomb, saw the linen cloth lying on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head”
Not necessarily. I’ve seen a documentary on the shroud in which an artist was able to duplicate the image seen on the shroud quite easily. He took a small swatch of cloth, placed it on a bias relief image of a face, and then began to daub it with a bundle of herds (the same kind of herbs that the body was supposedly annoited with) wrapped in cloth and soaked in water. A negative image soon formed on the cloth which had been draped over the bias relief. He claimed that this was a fairly common practice short after the period of time in which the shroud first appears.
Sometimes I feel,
Sometimes I feel,
Like I been nailed to the crucifix,
Nailed to the crucifix,
Nailed to the crucifix,
Good Lord, I feel like I’m dyin’ (temporarily)
Yep, I’m going to hell…
I hate the Shroud. It’s another opportunity for knuckleheads to argue dumb things and make others think that Christianity rests on whether this is legit or not.
