Image On Cloth Perhaps Face Of The Crucified Chris
By LISA BELLAMY
DURHAM, N.C. (UPI) — Apparent bloodstains on a cloth that
may have been placed on the face of Jesus Christ shortly after
his crucifixion came from the same person whose impression is
on the Shroud of Turin, a Duke University researcher said.
Dr. Alan D. Whanger, a shroud expert, also said he believes
an explanation is close as to how the impression on the shroud
could have been made.
The shroud, which carries the impression of a man, is believed
by some to be the burial cloth of Christ. It has been kept in the
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, for more than
400 years.
The supposed facecloth, called the Sudarium, has been kept in
a cathedral in Oviedo, Spain, since the 9th century.
Whanger and his wife, Mary, used a polarized image overlay
technique they developed in 1981 to make comparsions of the two
cloths. One photographic image is projected directly over the
other through polarizing filters.
By using a third rotating filter, the similarities between images
can be examined minutely. The Whangers said they noted 76 con-
gruent stains over the face and 58 over the back of the head,
thought to have been caused by a crown of thorns.
"We feel this is hard evidence that both were in contact with
the same person," Whanger said.
Whanger said he believes his findings substantiate the au-
thenticity of the face cloth and the existence of the shroud long
before the 14th century — a period of large-scale relic forgeries.
Some people believe the shroud was manufactured at that time.
The shroud was first made public in France in 1356.
The Whangers said the face cloth was folded around Christ's
face prior to the placement of the shroud. The Whangers
speculated that the face cloth was removed when the shroud was
folded over the body and, because it was stained with blood, it
was left in the tomb near the body, as was the custom.
"We believe that the facecloth was placed on the body shortly
after death and before the entombment because it is much more
bloody than the shroud,” he said.
The face cloth measures 2-feet-9 inches by l-foot-9 inches. The
linen shroud cloth is 14-feet-3 inches by 3-feet-7 inches and has
the front and back image of a man,
Whanger said there is new evidence of the nature of the shroud
image itself.
He said he has been collaborating with West German physics
teachers Oswald Scheuermann, who has theorized the image may
have been created by a bolt of lightning.
Scheuermann has produced images with virtually the same
detail and physical and chemical characteristics as those on the
shroud by means of radiation from high-voltage high-frequency
electrical currents.
