How sad that so many require a piece of cloth of questionable origin to help justify their faith.

I don't need a piece of cloth to justify my faith, but if it is real...and we will probably never know...it is just plain cool.

My mother bought me (from an antique store) an old (possibly very early 2oth century) “negative” 1/4 scale image of the shroud on linen. I have no idea how old it is, or it’s origin, or anything. I figure it is possible that it is a “gift shop souvenir” from Turin, but have been unable to find anyone who has ever heard of one.

It is really cool wall art, but it tends to freak out my friends when they first see it.
