Look What We Have Done

Stunning photos of a model of Christ's entombed body

I was writing tonight’s blog when I came across a Twitter thread that stopped me cold.

All I know about this display is from the text of the tweet:

After 15 years of study on the Shroud of Turin, today a hyper-realistic reproduction of what Jesus looked like according to the Shroud has been presented. From today until December you can visit the exhibition ( https://themysteryman.com ) in the Cathedral of Salamanca.

Here are the images. The original tweets follow.

Tras 15 años de estudio sobre la Sábana Santa de Turín, hoy se ha presentado una reproducción hiperrealista de cómo fue Jesús según la Sábana Santa. Desde hoy hasta diciembre podrás visitar la exposición (themysteryman.com) en la Catedral de Salamanca.

Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Kyrie eleison

My heart sank. I felt guilty—the way I felt when, as a child, I’d done something wrong, and I knew my mom and dad would find out. My heart is heavy with guilt and sadness even now. It’s not a feeling of depression, but palpable humility. Like standing before a crowd as naked as the figure in the photos.

I’ll continue the original post tomorrow. This seems much more important. I would love to read your reaction.
