Taken by amateur photographer Secondo Pia,
who was allowed to photograph it while it was
being exhibited in the Turin Cathedral in 1898.

crown of thorns worn by Christ

Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Anatolia.
Crown of thorns
10. Whipping wounds
Approx. 100 – 120 marks visible
on the shroud.
Likely that more than one type of
whip was used
14. Burn holes
Several burn marks as a result of a fire that broke out in the
Sainte Chappelle, Chambery in France in 1532.
15. Burn holes
These holes are believed to have been caused during a ‘Trial by
Fire’ prior to 1516 as they appear in an artist’s copy of the
shroud in the Church of St Gommaire, Belgium dated 1516

28. The Knights Templar (medieval Christian
military order)
Historic documents indicate that in the year 1287 a
French Knight Templar Arnaut Sabbastier was shown
a ‘long linen cloth on which was imprinted the figure
of a man’ during his reception into the Templar’s
Order
The previous note provides a possible link that
between the disappearance of the Cloth of Edessa in
1204 and the appearance of the Shroud with the De
Charney family in 1357 the Shroud was secretly
hidden with the Templar’s Order
How can this be the case if the Edessa cloth is a
sudarium and the shroud is a sindon?

bloodstained cloth, measuring c. 84 x 53 cm, kept in
the Cámara Santa of the Cathedral of San Salvador,
Oviedo, Spain
First mentioned in AD 570 in an account by Antoninus
of Piacenza, who writes that the Sudarium is being
cared for in a cave near the monastery of Saint Mark,
in the vicinity of Jerusalem.
