The Sudarium's Role Explained
- The Sudarium of Oviedo is believed to be the actual head cloth of Jesus, separate from the Shroud of Turin.
- It was wrapped around Jesus' face from the cross to the tomb, explaining why it has no face image unlike the Shroud.
Blood Evidence Links Relics
- The blood stains on the Sudarium match the Shroud perfectly in shape and blood type AB, indicating a common origin.
- The blood contains pulmonary edema fluid, consistent with Jesus' asphyxiation on the cross.
Sudarium Provenance Validated
- Documentary and pollen evidence trace the Sudarium back to at least the sixth century with origins in Jerusalem.
- This contradicts carbon-14 dating that suggested a medieval origin, strengthening claims of antiquity.
