![]() “The cloth that had covered his head” Funeral of Pope St. It shows suffering, but it also shows life! But, it is also believed to have recorded in light the Face of Jesus at the moment of His Resurrection. It is believed to be the “cloth” that covered the Face of Jesus in death, showing traces of the Passion: Bruises, swelling, wounds from the Crown of Thorns, and plucked beard. This “miracle of light,” “not made by human hands,” was protected and hidden in an isolated church in the Abbruzzi Mountains for centuries. The Sudarium Veil of Manoppello, Italy, is perhaps the least known of the three burial “cloths.” The Veil bears the image of the living Face of Jesus. The Sudarium Veil of the Face of Christ, Photo: Patricia Enk The Shroud of Turin caused an entire branch of science to be dedicated to its research called Sindonology. The world was amazed when Secondo Pia first photographed the Face on the Shroud in 1898 the negative of the photo incredibly became visible as a positive image. It is the most famous and studied of the three cloths. The faint but visible imprint on the Shroud of Turin gives witness to the violent torture of a man as described in the Passion and Death of Jesus in the Scripture. The Shroud of Turin the sindone, or linen burial shroud, was believed to have been used to wrap the entire body of Christ. “He went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there” Face on the Shroud of Turin by photographer Secondo Pia, 1898 The blood type is AB, the same as on the Shroud of Turin. It takes one’s breath away to see that the bloodstains on the Sudarium of Oviedo, when overlaid with the Face on the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium Veil of Manoppello, correspond perfectly. There is also an imprint on the sudarium of the hand of the person who held this cloth to Jesus’s Face to staunch the flow of blood. The largest bloodstains are from the nose, other stains are from the eyes and other parts of the face. Blood was considered sacred to the Jews, so this cloth was used to soak up the Precious Blood of Jesus, by wrapping it around Jesus’s Head, as He was taken down from the Cross. The Sudarium of Oviedo directly touched Jesus’s head following His Crucifixion. The remarkable relationship between these three “cloths” leave little doubt that each came in contact with the face of the same man at the time of burial. They are: The Sudarium of Oviedo, The Shroud of Turin, and the Sudarium Veil of Manoppello. Each one bearing an imprint or image of the Face of Jesus. Three of the cloths in particular stand out as extraordinary “witnesses” to the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus, and together they bear a powerful testimony to the truth of the Gospels. Christian tradition has preserved six cloths as relics that are associated with the burial of Jesus – 1.) The Shroud of Turin, 2.) the Sudarium of Oviedo in Spain, 3.) The Sudarium Veil of Manoppello, 4.) The Sudarium of Kornelimunster in Germany, 5.) The SindonMunda of Aachen, Germany, 6.) The Cap of Cahors in France. (John 20: 1-9)Īt the time of Jesus, the Jewish law required several “cloths” to be used for burial, and as many as six for someone who had died a violent death.
