The Holy Shroud of Turin        

      "Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."   
 

Jesus then  answered  Pilate: "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above."
                   
John: 19.11

 As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who was one of Jesus' followers, went to Pilate and boldly asked for Jesus' body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long linen cloth. He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock.

And Behold: 
 The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split..

Matthew: 27.50

Pope John Paul II;  text

Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and he Believed.  John:20

  He was known to be of human estate, and it was thus that He humbled Himself obediently, accepting even death, death on a cross!
