Ancient languages translator and historian Mark Guscin follows a trail of evidence surrounding the Sudarium of Oviedo in Spain.
Mark Guscin, B.A. M.Phil., researches the Sudarium of Oviedo which is the face cloth of Jesus as told and known to have existed from the gospel of John, chapter 20, verses 6 and 7. These verses read as follows, "Simon Peter, following him, also came up, went into the tomb, saw the linen cloth lying on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself." John clearly differentiates between this smaller face cloth, the sudarium, and the larger linen that had wrapped the body.
Mark Guscin traces the Sudarium of Oviedo back to ancient caves; the very caves believed to be where the Sudarium of Oviedo was hidden for safekeeping very possibly by the disciples or the first Christians.
URGENT NOTE:
It must be noted. Mark Guscin wrote to me, Simon Brown, confirming he was horrified to see/hear a really basic mistake in this documentary. The holes in the Sudarium were not caused by the crown of thorns as they said, but rather by some kind of pins used to hold the cloth onto the bloodsoaked hair. A pity, it spoils an otherwise serious program he states. However, still a great documentary.
