	Sudarium of Oviedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sudarium of Oviedo is a bloodstained cloth, 34" x 21", kept in the cathedral of Oviedo, Spain and claimed to be the cloth that was wrapped around the head of Jesus of Nazareth after he died.
		There is no reference of the Sudarium for the first several hundred years after the Crucifixion, until its mention in 570 in an account by Antoninus of Piacenza, who wrote that the Sudarium was being cared for in a cave near the monastery of Saint Mark, in the vicinity of Jerusalem.
		The Sudarium was apparently taken from Palestine in 614, after the invasion of the Byzantine provinces by the Sassanide Persian King Chosroes II, was carried through northern Africa in 616 and arrived in Spain shortly thereafter.

	The forensic connection between the Sudarium of Oviedo and the Shroud of Turin
		In the northern Spanish city of Oviedo, in a small chapel attached to the city's cathedral, there is a small bloodstained dishcloth size piece of linen that some believe is one of the burial cloths mentioned in John's Gospel.
		In 761, Oviedo became the capital of a northern, well-defended enclave of Christians on the Iberian Peninsula and it was to this city that the Sudarium was brought for safekeeping.
		This is especially notable in that the blood on the Sudarium, shed in life as opposed to postmortem, corresponds exactly in blood group, blood type and surface area to those stains on the Shroud on the nape of the neck.

	The Sudarium of Oviedo...
		One of the relics held by the cathedral in the town of Oviedo, in the north of Spain, is a piece of cloth measuring approximately 84 x 53 cm.
		It would appear that the sudarium was pinned to the back of the dead man's head, and that these spots of blood were from small sharp objects, which would logically be the thorns that caused this type of injury all over Jesus' head.
		As the sudarium was used to clean the man's face, it appears that it was simply placed on the face to absorb all the blood, but not used in any kind of wiping movement.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Other Shroud of Christ
		A little-known relic in Oviedo, Spain, called the Sudarium, the cloth said to have covered Jesus' face after He was crucified, may be the key to unveiling the mystery of the Shroud of Turin.
		In Latin, Sudarium means "face cloth." The Revised Standard Version of the Bible translates Sudarium as "napkin," a clear indication that this smaller cloth was not identical to the longer burial shroud called the sindon in the New Testament's Greek.
		This question and the related one of proving a correlation between the Sudarium and the Shroud of Turin are the object of ongoing scientific investigations by a team from the Spanish Center for Sindonology, an organization that studies the Shroud of Turin.

	WorldNetDaily: Scientists: Relic authenticates Shroud of Turin
		OVIEDO, Spain -- Scientists and forensic specialists gathered in Oviedo, Spain, this week to examine an obscure relic that many have claimed authenticates the Shroud of Turin -- believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
		The relic, whose dramatic history is intertwined with the Knights Templar, Moors, El Cid, saints and bishops, has been in Spain since A.D. Meanwhile, in Turin, Italy, the last pilgrims of the Jubilee Year are winding their way past the Shroud of Turin before the exhibit closes on October 23.
		It is a stretch, say researchers, that a 13th century forger would have known to take the trouble to impregnate the linen with marble dust found near Golgotha in order to fool scientists 600 years later.

	Sacred Blood, Sacred Image: An interview with Janice Bennett about the Sudarium of Oviedo \| August 6, 2005
		I was later told that the Archbishop of Oviedo granted permission to study the relic in 1986 so that he and the other priests involved in using it for public benediction three days each year would know if it had any chance of containing the blood of Christ.
		The use of a sudarium was required when blood flowed at the time of death, because blood was believed to contain the soul of the individual as the "seat of life," and was considered just as much a part of the body as the flesh.
		The Sudarium is, of course, first mentioned by St. John as the cloth that covered Jesus’ head, and was found in the tomb by John and Peter, in the same place where it had been left on Good Friday.

	The Resurrection Problem and the Shroud of Turin, Part 11, The Sudarium of Oviedo, A Problem in Forensic Science
		In 1999, Mark Guscin, a member of the Investigation Team of the Centro Español de Sindonología, issued a detailed forensic and historical report entitled, "Recent Historical Investigations on the Sudarium of Oviedo." The Sudarium of Oviedo is a towel-sized cloth relic that some believe was used to respectfully cover Jesus' head before his entombment.
		Furthermore, the Sudarium has a definitive history in Spain going back to the seventh century and it seems highly probable, from historical documents, that the Sudarium's record goes back to first century Jerusalem.
		In 761, Oviedo became the capital of a northern, well-defended enclave of Christians on the Spanish peninsula and it was to this city that the Sudarium was brought for safety.
