>>12647211If any image should have magically appeared on a shroud, it would have been warped since the fabric is wrapped around the body. Unless, of course, the Shroud magically hovered above Jesus' body.
Secondly, christian relics were really sought after and therefore were subject to counterfeiting and forgery.
The image on the Shroud looks exactly as the people would have expected it to be at the time, ie the same as the Christ painted on icons, regardless of historical accuracy.
