  The Mandylion
It was immediately identified as the mysterious Cloth, the mandylion, brought to king Agbar V by the disciple Thaddaeus around 30 AD.
Edessa was captured by Christian Knights, the Crusaders, and the Mandylion was taken to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine empire.
Between 944 and 1204 AD, the Mandylion remained at Constantinople in the Chapel of the Pharos, and was kept safe, in spite of the Moslem capture of Constantinople in 1146 AD.

The Mandylion remains one of the most prized relics owned by the Vatican, perhaps the inspiration for all the images of Christ that came after.
One of the earliest icons is a 590 fresco of Christ Pantocrator, a Byzantine icon in St. Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai that bears a close resemblance to both the Mandylion and the Shroud of Turin.
Some scholars believe that the Mandylion and the shroud are the same, or at least share similar stories of origin, although the shroud doesn't appear in the historical record until the 14th century.

 Genova Palazzo Ducale - Mostra - Mandylion
The Mandylion, the name given to the icon of the Holy Face of Genoa kept in the Church of St. Bartholomew of the Armenians, is one of the most mysterious images of the Saviour.
Tradition has it that the Mandylion was not painted by human hand but is the miraculous imprint of the face of Christ on a piece of cloth that He personally sent to King Abgar of Edessa.
The two journeys which have led to the bringing together of the Genoa Mandylion and the Sinai panels will be accompanied by important eleventh- and twelfth-century illuminated manuscripts about the legend of the image and by some Byzantine reliquaries which found their way to the west in ancient times.

 Unknotting A Tangled Tale Of Towels (Mandylion)
The Mandylion is traditionally believed to be a representation of the face of Jesus miraculously transferred to a towel (from the Arabic word mandil, “small cloth”), but is not to be confused with the cloth, which also bears His likeness, with which Veronica wiped Christ’s face as He went to Calvary.
The imperial city lost the Mandylion in the crusader conquest of 1204, when it was sold to the French and taken to the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
Another Mandylion was taken to Rome and by 1587 it was in the Convent of the Poor Clares at San Silvestro in Capite.

 The Knights Templar | The Templars, The Shroud, The Veil and the Mandylion | templarhistory.com
After considerable haggling the Emir agreed and so the Mandylion was taken to Constantinople where it remained for two and a half centuries as the most sacred object in the imperial collection of relics.
This would indicate that the Mandylion was so sacred and important that its memory has existed in the East for over a thousand years and its image has been accurately and faithfully copied by countless monk Artists down through the ages.
However, some explanation is necessary for the missing century and between the cloths disappearance as the Mandylion from Constantinople in April 1204 AD and its reappearance as the Shroud in the possession of the French family of De Charney during the 1350's.

 The Fire and the Portrait
The Mandylion theory asserted that the Shroud was once made into a portrait by being folded, attached to a backing board, and overlaid by gold trelliswork in a manner which left visible only the face of its crucified image.
The Mandylion theory asserts that it would have been unseemly to present a reigning monarch with an object as repellant as "the gravecloth of man who had been executed as a convicted criminal, in the most degrading circumstances possible".
However, although the Mandylion theory asserted that the Shroud was doubled-in-four in the first century and was never unfolded again until the eleventh or twelfth century, it was discovered in 1987 that the Shroud must have been unfolded upon its arrival in Constantinople in August of 944.

 The Image of Edessa
Several researchers think the Mandylion was the same cloth as the full-figured Shroud of Turin, The Image of Edessa, however, conforms to the size of the cloth placed over the face of a dead person or soudarion, not entire shroud or sindon.
The horizontal format of the Mandylion is a positive sign that it was not a small towel but rather part of a much larger cloth.
On the evening of the sacred feast day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, 15 August 944, the Mandylion arrived at the famous church of Our Lady at Blachernae, where the entire court, with the exception of Romanus [the Emperor] because of his illness, was able to admire the blessed relic.

 'Miraculous' image adds to mystery of how Jesus looked
Overshadowed by many later works of art, the Mandylion remains one of the most prized relics owned by the Vatican, perhaps the inspiration for all of the images of Christ that came after.
In 1204, Constantinople was sacked during the Fourth Crusade, and this is where the history of the Mandylion becomes murky because the Crusaders returned to the West with three versions of the holy towel.
The Vatican Mandylion is almost identical to another version that is in Genoa, Italy, and there is debate about which one is a copy of the other.

 Could be the Shroud and the Mandylion be the same cloth?
It is believed that the Mandylion was at first only known as a face image because of the way it was folded and presented to viewers.
When all the descriptions are analyzed, it becomes clear that the Mandylion was understood to be 1) a burial shroud 2) with a faint image 3) not made with artistic substances and 4) covered in blood including the side wound.
All of these references are earlier than the carbon 14 date of 1260 to 1390 and refer to the Mandylion, which has a known history to at least the sixth century.

 Relics in Constantinople
Upon arrival at the imperial capital, on 15 August, the mandylion and letter were placed in an imperial galley and taken around the city to the Pharos.
This is far from incompatible with the mandylion's role as palladium for the whole city, and empire.
It does not appear that the mandylion, maphorion, or the relics of the Passion ever left the city, until that is the sack of Constantinople by the forces of the Fourth Crusade in 1204.

 Gathering, the - Satan Stole My Teddybear
Mandylion, the band's first with vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen, was indeed a classic and a milestone, but I would argue that it would come off unnatural for this group to continue playing that particular vein of music.
For those with short memories, the title track of Mandylion was a hint at things and the band's ability to create a mood and musical setting is still quite intact, perhaps more fully realized than in the past.
One of the benefits of a stripped down live set is that any artist with a sense of propriety will have the decency to chuck their more meandering pointless material and focus on the good stuff, and that's exactly what The Gathering did here.

 Saint Veronica
The Veronica may be a second-class relic; in other words, it may have had direct contact with the Mandylion, which was the actual cloth which directly contacted Jesus.
A further possibility, however, is that the image on the Veronica was itself mysteriously transferred to the 'veil' whilst that cloth was in the presence of the Mandylion.
The Mandylion image was apparently capable of transferring itself in this mystical way to clay tiles, wooden panels, cloth, etc., which were placed or remained near it.

 [No title]
Du VI° au XIII° siècle, le Mandylion fut utilisé comme modèle pour reproduire le visage du Christ sur les icônes.
En 1204, le "Mandylion", alors conservé à Sainte Marie de Blachernes, disparaît lors du sac de Constantinople par les croisés, ainsi que l'affirme un chevalier picard ou wallon, chroniqueur de la 4e croisade, nommé Robert de Clary (document conservé à la bibliothèque royale de Copenhague).
Certains historiens pensent alors que le Mandylion a dû être pris par quelque croisé de famille noble ou récupéré par un ordre militaire (comme les templiers) d'Europe occidentale (France par exemple).

Mandylion is actually the first album to feature Anneke's beautiful voice, but it's actually not the first Gathering album.
For the most part, Mandylion was sort of a crossover album for the band, as it displayed much of the metal instrumental prowess of the previous releases, but also hinted at the more quiet accoustic nature of the newer albums.
They absolutely can't stand when they actually can't sing along with the vocalist, or sing the vocalists part, which is an alternative to instrumentaly playing the song as a cover, to some people that is. Some people don't like synths which are used a little better and properly.

 Blistering.com Review: The Gathering - Mandylion Deluxe Edition
Ten years on from it’s original release, The Gathering’s third album Mandylion still sounds as fresh, innovative and genre defying as it did back in 1995, and still remains the benchmark by which many female fronted progressive/gothic groups are measured by today.
The album’s lead off single ‘Strange Machines’ was the first to show off The Gathering’s new sound, and although somewhat simplistic and straightforward in structure, the song garnished the band a position in the charts, along with a whole new audience.
Apart from the album Mandylion itself, Century Media Records have also managed to finally wipe the vaults clean with an additional disc of previously unreleased demos, making the package a companion piece of sorts to the Accessories: Rarities & B-Sides compilation released earlier this year.

It was the first of its kind, and though its stirring blend of melancholic and uplifting sounds has opened the door for countless imitations, the magic of this album has yet to be duplicated.
"Mandylion" is an instrumental, but it's unquestionably the most bizarre track on the record.
Mandylion is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who loves metal bands with female singers, period.

 A Templar Mandylion discovered in Brittany (France) ...
After 10 years of on-site research on the official and secret travels of the Mandylion, in Greece, Cyprus, Istanbul, the Middle East, France and Italy, François Gazay notes that the word « Mandylion » is frequently used in documents relating to this object.
In fact, the unfolded Mandylion is a very large piece of linen measuring 4 x 1 meters revealing the inexplicable frontal and dorsal imprints of the body of a man.
Consequently, this Templar Mandylion, and perhaps the « Chamber of Red Monks », could be much older than the chapel itself which was built or modified between 1544 and 1739.

 Genova Palazzo Ducale - Mostra - Mandylion
Il secondo viaggio si caratterizza come un'analisi archeologica del Mandylion in quanto oggetto sacro complesso e composito, il quale si racconta e si disvela attraverso un approccio lento che parte dalla cornice, passa attraverso i tessuti, arriva infine alla tavola stessa, lungo un percorso espositivo che s'identifica con un percorso di riflessione.
I due "viaggi" che portano all'incontro del Mandylion genovese con le tavolette del Sinai saranno accompagnati da importanti manoscritti miniati dei secoli XI e XII concernenti la leggenda dell'immagine, e da alcuni reliquiari bizantini arrivati anticamente in Occidente.
Le ultime sezioni, infine, presentano aspetti fondamentali della "vita" politica e religiosa del Mandylion a Genova, dalla copia che fu apposta sopra una delle porte della città nel primo Cinquecento, alla sua valutazione liturgica e storiografica dal periodo della Riforma in poi.

The materials, according to the skeptical scholar Robert Eisenman, "are very widespread in the Syriac sources with so many multiple developments and divergences that it is hard to believe they could all be based on Eusebius' poor efforts" (Eisenman 1997 p 862).
The legend of the mandylion as it is known today is the product of centuries of development.
An Arab legend, related to historian Andrew Palmer when he visited Urfa (Edessa) in 1999, relates that the towel (mendil) of Jesus was thrown into a well in what is today the city's Great Mosque.
