Figure 6.3. One of the reputed holy lances—the spear of Longinus—is depicted on the cover of this popular, pseudo-historical account of its alleged peregrinations (author’s collection).
CHAPTER 7
Holy Shrouds
Among the most revered—and disputed—relics of the Passion are those associated with the burial of Jesus. Such relics include bits of the angel’s candle that lit Jesus’ tomb and the marble slab on which his body was laid, complete with traces of his mother’s tears (Nickell 1998, 52); most, however, are burial linens. This chapter examines Jewish burial practices, the various alleged winding sheets of Jesus, the controversial Holy Shroud of Constantinople, and what are known as liturgical shrouds.
