The Shroud is, for Christians, the linen which covered the face of #jesus of #nazareth #palestine 🇵🇸 or the shroud which was used to wrap his body after death - in accordance with the method of burial in use among the Jews - before placing it in the tomb according to the New Testament. Linens assimilated to this event became the object of particular devotion all across Europe. Here in #lemans this fragment of colored silk is a shaped samit, attributed to a #byzantine workshop. #faith #oriental #sarthe #maine #ofcourselemans (à Carré Plantagenet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRr9o4MLbA3/?utm_medium=tumblr
