204. Two simple points that show the shroud is art and not a relic
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 11:02 AM by Az
Where are your eyes? Take a look at the shroud:



Notice how the eyes appear to be near the top of his head. Your eyes are actually in the middle of your head. But our internal sense of them places them near the top. This representation of the eyes near the top of the head was typical of artistry during the 13th century.

Second, where is Jesus' genetalia?


Seriously try to lie down in that position. It is impossible to lie down with your shoulders flat and cover your genetalia as the image is doing. This again was an artists technique of modesty typical of the time the shroud is preported to have been created.
