Then Jesus rises from the dead. When the disciples 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 or Thaddeus 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, known as the Keramion, and placed over the city gate. In addition to the Shroud, this tile may have 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 and the Keramion are hidden in the city walls to protect them from destruction, and the location was apparently forgotten. 4. 525 The Shroud and the Keramion are rediscovered during the rebuilding of Edessa after a flood. 5. 544 Edessa is besieged by a Persian army and the Shroud and/or the Keramion purportedly save the city. Following this, the Hagia Sophia church (named after its analog in Constantinople) is constructed to house and venerate the Shroud and the Keramion. The Shroud is shown to the public every Easter, but in an air of secrecy and mystery. In this era the appearance of Christ as depicted in Christian art suddenly changes from a smooth Greco-Roman style to a Semitic man, with the characteristics of the face from the Shroud 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 to capture the Shroud and bring it to Constantinople as a means of divine protection. The Shroud was received with great ceremony and paraded through the city – a copy of the sermon given by on that occasion still exists. The Shroud is kept in the imperial relic treasury and periodically presented to private audiences. 7. 1204 The knights of the 4th Crusade come to Constantinople, supposedly on their way to Jerusalem, but due to a complex and unfortunate series of political events, they sack Constantinople instead. The Shroud is taken by the crusaders. 8. 1204 – 1355 This period is known as the “missing years” of the Shroud. The explanation with the most documentary evidence is that the Shroud was given to or taken by the knight Othon de la Roche, a knight from the Burgundy region of France who became the Lord of Athens in Greece. The Shroud may have been in Greece but was eventually brought to Besançon, the capital of Burgundy. In any case the Shroud eventually became the property of Geoffrey de Charny and his family. Geoffrey de Charny, a Templar and high counselor to King John II of France, and the Lord of Lirey and Savoisy in France, had built a chapel in Lirey to commemorate his rescue from the Englis Learn more about your ad choices.
