medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture AFAIK shrouds were just like bedsheets (real bedsheets were often used, of ca 1.5 x 2 meters) that were wrapped around a body and sewn down at one side or in the midfront. So a shroud like the Turin one of over 4 m length and of narrow width is quite unusual. In fact, that would have been an extreme luxury. Besides that: all these reliques are fakes, so why act as if we believe in them and write serious studies about them, let alone make documentaries about them with lots of question marks. Balderdash and piffle, except as a religio-cultural phenomenon. Henk -- Mijn Postvak In wordt beschermd door SPAMfighter. 3218 spam-mails zijn er tot op heden geblokkeerd.
