One of the articles said it looks like a hologram, so it has dimension to it. As for the fact it is colored rendering , byssus isn’t white, and the picture I saw of the relic, looked like a piece of nylon stocking or something of that nature, so I imagine it must be seen in sort of sepia tones…I think that picture we see is an artist rendering and not a picture of the Holy Face…The Holy Face is in a wooden frame, and that isn’t visible on the picture…

If the cloth is made of byssus, I imagine that it has browned with age. 🤷 Just because the veil is so thin that when light shines through it it makes the image unviewable from afar does not make it so close-up, I think.



Another trivia about the Veil: the Image on the Front and Back sides of the Veil are a bit different from each other. I’ll provide an article detailing about that later.
 
Thats a wonderful picture ,much better than the one I saw…did you read the articles that said there were even eyelashes on the face?..they werer able to see if once they photographed it and blew it up, and the stubble of a beard?

While as I’ve seem to made clear before that I don’t particularly believe in the Manoppello Veil’s authenticity, I do find the image to be particularly interesting.

Here is the promised article (in PDF).
 
I wonder what it is if it is not painted?..If the fabric is byssus, it can’t be painted on

They looked at the image with microscopes and could find no evidence of paint

It appears to be like the tilma of Juan Diego…I think it is more than people feel it is…

I found this for you:
holyface.org.uk/content/holyfacefeast.htm

This is, of course, the new Church calendar…I follow the Traditional Liturgical Calendar which does not have the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday as the Feast of the Holy Face. Nevertheless…the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus Christ is a most important devotion, especially in our times…

Furthermore…I said that Tuesday was the day of the week dedicated to the Holy Face…I was not speaking of the Feast day.

In other words…one can pray the chaplet devoted to the Holy Face on every Tuesday throughout the year.
