Reflections on the Holy Shroud
by Danilo Schembri
 

[Italiano]

The sheet that represents the image of the son of God me has always allured, since from child, when I during the Easter period went to see the popular representations about the Christ passion.

I followed the stories about the Shroud and in quality of fancier have allowed me to do some personal considerations on the image represented on the Holy Sheet.

Obviously these are simple geometric considerations that are not based on the chemistry of the sheet.

Look at the figure below: it represents the connection among the front image and that back of the Christ.

2000 years ago the Christ was wrapped by the Sheet that today represents his image in this way:

I want to attract your attention on the point of conjugation among the front part of the head (the face) and that back: they are kickbacks for a point. This sound very strange, because among the face and the back there is the top area of the cranium that the sheet must have covered (forced!), disappeared in the representation of the Shroud.

Additionally also this part of the body, uttering "radiations" (or I don't known), it should have left the own trace on the sheet (as like happened for all the other body parts), creating a similar image to this:

Also hypothesizing that that part didn't left trace (why?), should exist an observable and substantial space among the face and the back, if no modifications (cut and paste) were applied (I don't remember discussion about).

The image, as like it arrived to us today, could be generated only from a flat body:

I would like have a reply on as until here illustrated and on this my theory.
 

Help me about the translation!
