Found this interesting. thought others might, too.

This video convinced me it's legitimate and was often shared along with that image when posted on /pol

Evidence for the shroud of Christ

The only way it could have been a medieval forgery was for them to have obtained an authentic cloth from around 33ad and have full knowledge of the exact way a scourging and crucifixion was carried out and then killed a man in an extremely specific way. And then have some way to produce the actual image using the body of a man to create the bloodstains... then they'd have to remove the cloth and do whatever process to produce the image and get the cloth put back on perfectly in alignment.

If such technology existed to produce the image so perfectly... there would have been more practice attempts circulating and potentially others discovering the method and then using it for commercial purposes. We don't even have a viable method that could produce the image. They'd have to have predicted technology far surpassing would could have been understood by humans at the time.

So either the shroud is a paranormal phenomenon, or was made by someone who could see the future.

I'd like to see independent verification that blood samples taken from multiple purported Jesus relics all were actually AB-. That's pretty telling, at least as to the authenticity of those objects.

Did the Pope post this?

There was some new evidence recently

Even the Jewish scientist on the case came to believe it was authentic , he has a lot of info on youtube https://youtu.be/AyRU-0uH2rw

The Shroud also matches the Sudarium cloth

We live in strange times. I had always believed it was a fake and hadn't looked into the science.
Turns out it is authentic and can't be understood nor replicated.

I've never read the Bible, so I don't know what their official cause of death is. But part of dying on a cross /from a bad beating is heart failure.

Around the same time I came across the Shroud info, I investigated the bloody hosts/eucharist miracles, which is where the white bread that Catholocs eat literally turns into flesh and blood and has been scientifically examined.

The various miracles all have stuff in common - heart tissue, white blood cells that is still living / dead, evidence of trauma / physical beatings, AB blood type, etc.

It really confused independent labs because they thought they were looking at a murder but it was just the bread.

After studying the eucharist, some scientists converted because it is scientifically impossible yet still exists.

And now we have a vaccine that causes heart damage and heart attacks.

I don't know what it means, but for ages there has been a religious focus on the sacred blood of Jesus, the sacred heart of mary, all about the heart.

Here is a podcast, I think by a protestant with a priest talking about the shroud. Tons of good info.

Basically, the shroud is one of a kind and does not show that the body ever corrupted or decayed.

Apparently the veil of Veronica and the Divine Mercy painting of Jesus face also match. https://discovermercy.github.io/

History youtuber Metatron recently did a deep dive on the Shroud too, and surprisingly ends up showing how it could be real:

It has been debunked as a hoax. It also contains a woman's dna. Or that of far more recent carbon dating. It is a hoax.

An inquisition victim. Possibly a woman or so was thought. But the carbon dating puts it a few centuries old.

It has always been a hoax for decades.

No it was debunked. As either an inquisition victim possibly female dna. Or a dead crusader. The carbon dating is massively out putting it in the 13 or 1400s.

It emphatically is nothing else. After it had been debunked look it up, those hits. I am sure your story holds merit, the church didn't want anybody undermining it. Because to the believer it only wanted validity of which there was none.
