“The Mystery Man” of the Shroud of Turin
Isaiah 53:5 But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
A fifteen year project has been completed by artists in Spain.
Based on a study of the Shroud of Turin, a sculpture has been created that matches the blood stains. The sculpture is made of latex, silicon, and real hair.
The body is 5′ 10″ and weighs 165 pounds.
The Mystery Man is on display in Salamanca Cathedral in Spain.

I believe there is ‘absolute proof’ of the resurrection of our Lord that is revealed in both Scriptural and secular historical accounts. It is most like the Lord to leave His evidence woven in accordance with Jeremiah 29:13, rewarding the diligent seeker with this hidden treasure. It is very much unlike our Lord to reveal Himself in such a blatant manner. His truth always requires faith to ‘see’ His evidence of things ‘not seen’ (Hebrews 11:1). The shroud does not fit the strict scrutiny of the Scriptural narrative although it has tremendous visual appeal. Additionally, the shroud seems to better fit the narrative of one who may appear in the future requiring ‘proof’ that he is the Christ. One who would match the ‘evidence’ of blood type, visual similarities, etc. to those of the shroud in order to win the popular vote. I realize this statement would require much to be written in support and it is not my intention to do so in this format. However, I would welcome any future dialog as I believe this is a very important subject to be convinced of.
