Mandylion Acheiropoietos

Mandylion, Acheiropoietos addresses the question, "Who was given the sacred trust of preserving and protecting the burial cloth of Jesus Christ?" There are few references to the Shroud of Christ in the New Testament texts. Yet, there can be no doubt that if the cloth was, in fact, the burial cloth of Jesus, it has made a remarkable journey throughout the past two thousand years. Who was the person entrusted with this task? What relation did this person have with Jesus that could lead to so sacred a trust? The answers may never be known for sure, This story is fiction. It is a speculation on the early years of the Shroud's existence. It is based on thirty six years of fascination with and study about the Shroud of Turin.
