Then Jesus rises from the dead. When thedisciples enter the empty tomb, they see the burial cloths according to the Gospels.2. ca 33-38 The burial cloth of Christ was said to be brought to Edessa by Thomas orThaddeus at the request of King Abgar V of Edessa, who was miraculously healed.Edessa becomes a Christian city. A mosaic tile was made of face on the Shroud, knownas the Keramion, and placed over the city gate. In addition to the Shroud, this tile mayhave been the model used for future pictures of Christ.3. 57 Ma’nu VI becomes king of Edessa and reverts the city to paganism. The Shroud andthe Keramion are hidden in the city walls to protect them from destruction, and thelocation was apparently forgotten.4. 525 The Shroud and the Keramion are rediscovered during the rebuilding of Edessa aftera flood.5. 544 Edessa is besieged by a Persian army and the Shroud and/or the Keramionpurportedly save the city. Following this, the Hagia Sophia church (named after itsanalog in Constantinople) is constructed to house and venerate the Shroud and theKeramion. The Shroud is shown to the public every Easter, but in an air of secrecy andmystery.In this era the appearance of Christ as depicted in Christian art suddenly changes from asmooth Greco-Roman style to a Semitic man, with the characteristics of the face from theShroud and/or the Keramion. Syriac artists become the main source of Christian art.6. 944 - 1204 The Byzantine emperor, Romanus Lacapenus sends an army to Edessa tocapture the Shroud and bring it to Constantinople as a means of divine protection. TheShroud was received with great ceremony and paraded through the city – a copy of thesermon given by on that occasion still exists. The Shroud is kept in the imperial relictreasury and periodically presented to private audiences.7. 1204 The knights of the 4th Crusade come to Constantinople, supposedly on their way toJerusalem, but due to a complex and unfortunate series of political events, they sackConstantinople instead. The Shroud is taken by the crusaders.8. 1204 – 1355 This period is known as the “missing years” of the Shroud. The explanationwith the most documentary evidence is that the Shroud was given to or taken by theknight Othon de la Roche, a knight from the Burgundy region of France who became theLord of Athens in Greece. The Shroud may have been in Greece but was eventuallybrought to Besançon, the capital of Burgundy. In any case the Shroud eventually becamethe property of Geoffrey de Charny and his family.Geoffrey de Charny, a Templar and high counselor to King John II of France, and theLord of Lirey and Savoisy in France, had built a chapel in Lirey to commemorate hisres Learn more about your ad choices.
