Unitarian Anabaptist | Joe Marino on Shroud of Turin Historical Evidence - Is This the Real Burial Cloth of Jesus? @unitariananabaptist | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Joe Marino has spent decades studying the "shroud of Turin" - a burial cloth of either ancient origin or medieval origin that depicts a crucified man. Joe explains how he came to believe that this is the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ, dating back to the first century. Although the earliest definite reference to the shroud comes from France in 1354, Joe presents historical evidence that the shroud existed prior to this, including references to a similar shroud in Edessa (modern day Turkey) in the early Middle Ages. If this is indeed the same shroud, it proves that the shroud is much older than many have thought, and was venerated by the Byzantines for centuries before it appeared in France, likely taken there by crusaders who plundered the Byzantine Empire during the Fourth Crusade (1202–1204).
