I don’t know why I’m on such a kick about blood type, but let it be known that individuals with type AB blood only comprise 3.9% of the American population. Type AB is a sort of hybrid blood type that occurred when A and B type racial peoples began to intermingle. We know that many racial Jews have blood type B and that many Mediterranean peoples are type A, so logic dictates that God is Italian…

So that’s why He has our church based in Rome! I get it now…😃

Where did I read that an expert in the field has determined that the facial bone structure on the Shroud and the facial bone structure in the painting of Our Lord given to St. Faustina in the original Divine Mercy painting she was instructed by Him to have done are an*** exact match***? Am I getting my preliminary (if not very sketchy) facts straight?? Anyone know??

I have no idea but the most popular image of the Divine Mercy looks to me nothing whatever like the Shroud image, or images based on it.
 
Amazingly, PBS just had a program on the Shroud of Turin, and it was good. Unusual for PBS to do anything about Christianity that isn’t on the attack.

Anyway from the program, they showed that the stitching done on the shroud was in fact, the type done in the Holy Land 2000 years ago, and it was unknown in the Middle Ages.

I saw it too, and enjoyed it. It was funny, though, that they seemed to leavet the “camera obscura” idea as a possibility, even though it could not explain anything else about the Shroud.

Rather interesting that (presumably) Jesus’s blood type is AB, as is Mary’s, therefore (according to biology…stuff) God’s blood type is either A, AB, or B 😃

God’s blood type, that’s funny!

Thats hilarious. I guess that explains why Jesus wanted his Church to center there. hmm…

I remember reading in Peter D’Adamo’s in one of bloodtype writings that the Bloodtype AB didn’t exist in Jesus’ time. That type didn’t “evolve” until several hundred years later. To me, it was just more proof of Jesus’ miraculous origin. But at the time I didn’t know Mary was AB. If what D’Adamo wrote was true, I wonder how we’d explain Mary’s AB?

Only, look at the hands. On the shroud, they are long and narrrow. Not in the picture.

I just watched it again, It’s on the PBS program, “Secrets of the Dead.”

They also covered the cloth in Spain and did confirm that both it and the shroud have the same blood type, AB.

Hi Jim good to see your writing again, I have that point on video and there is another point which is tha the tweed was made from a plant only found in that time and in the Holy Land.
God bless

I didn’t mean to be critical. I guess you have to buy the video to get more explanation? Or is it available online anywhere to read?

I’m an artist, and I have drawn and painted the human figure a lot. So the long narrow hands and fingers I did notice in the shroud, and also noticed that in the DM image the hands are almost small proportionately, and scarcely longish.

Here it is:

And here is the more popular, later one, which I like best, jst because it appeals to me. In this rendition, the hands are larger proportionately, and more muscular, but these also are not markedly long:

I am not saying the DM image is not inspired. That it lines up a alot with the Shroud is really interesting, and confirmation that the artist that painted the image was inspired as he painted. Which is not a surprise.
 
Look what I found!

Here is an image, apparently from the original of which we speak:
http://www.thedivinemercy.org/assets/images/momm/vilnius.jpg
It really is quite beautiful. I always see it from far, and up close I really like it. Its from this site:
thedivinemercy.org/momm/programs.php
Quoting of that painting, from there:

MOMM [stands for Mother of Mercy Messengers] utilizes a reproduction of the original image of The Divine Mercy, which was painted by Eugene Kazimirowski in 1934 in Vilnius, Lithuania. This was the only image painted under the direction of St. Faustina. It is documented that St. Faustina had the artist make several changes to the face before she finally came to the studio and announced that Jesus said to leave the image in the state it was in. Quoting the Lord she added: “It isn’t good, but it will do; you don’t have to change it anymore.”

In 1996, quite by chance, it was discovered that there is “a practically perfect correspondence” between the face of the Vilnius image and the face on the image of the Shroud of Turin.

For further info they refer you to this: article:thedivinemercy.org/momm/divinecoincidence.php
And reading this you can see that the image comparison was of the* face only* - not the hands.

Really, I think proportionately for that size figure, the hands are a bit small or at least delicate. And if you meet the artist, you will probably see that characteristic in him. Because artists have a tendancy to reflect themselves in their portraits; its an unconscious thing.

Its very hard to do a portrait from description. When you see the crime artists compare their verbally-directed drawing to the real thing, while a good likeness, there are the big differences.
 
I read somewhere that the Shroud of Turin, the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, various other Eucharistic miracles, and several weeping statues all contain Type AB (male) blood!

Striking coincidence, no? 😃

… Especially considering that only 4% the world’s population of today has AB, and only half of them are male. Plus, AB would have been even rarer at the time of Jesus.
 
Interesting but I have a question. I wonder how many miracles have or can be deemed coming from the Shroud?

lol, this made me laugh. Jesus has quite a sense of humor, doesn’t He? 😃
