I wonder what did happen to the cross? But if found, how would you know it was the one used to crucify Jesus?

My assumption is that it would be genuine.

I have figgered it out. The Shroud must be a phony.
We all know that Jesus looked very European with brown light brown hair, blue eyes and very European facial features.
Just like the painting hanging in my church and probably most Christian Churches in the world.
The figure on the Shroud looks like someone from the Mideast.

We see Jesus as someone who looks like us. Perhaps He will appear different to us all. I always remember that He healed three blind men different ways.

The “true” cross was said to have been found and retrieved by St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great. She died in A.D. 330. She made a trip to the Holy Land in 326-328.

I would think that venerating a cloth with an image upon it would be in direct conflict with the Ten Commandments.........Beats "speaking in tongues" and snake handling.

Interesting. How did they know it was the “true” cross and what happened to it?
To: UCANSEE2
They really knew how to make things back then.
And it wasn't made by children in a sweatshop.

Carbon dating is pretty accurate back to a few thousand years, but none of the radiometric dating methods are “exact” measurements. They all require certain assumptions and predefined reference points in order to make a date estimate.
The problem with the shroud dating is that the assumptions may have been wrong, and then the dating wouldn’t be reliable at all. They assumed that every section of the shroud was original, but some fabric seems to have been added when repairs were made. So, if they tested the repaired portion and assumed it was original, the dating wouldn’t be worth much.
To: Boogieman
That’s correct. The Shroud was severely damaged in a fire in 1532. It was repaired by a group of nuns called the Poor Clare Nuns and they used patches to repair portions of the cloth damaged by fire. I suspect when they did the first carbon dating, they dated those portions of the newer cloth. The image on the cloth, however, was miraculously untouched by the fire.
