Is There More Than One Cloth of Jesus? A Look Into Joesph Marino’s Article on “Purported Cloths of Jesus Apart from the Turin Shroud”

Purported Cloths of Jesus Apart from the Turin Shroud” is an article written by Joe Marino, a familiar guest of this blog and podcast, focusing on understanding the types of linens that could have been buried with Jesus. While arguing that more than one cloth could be authentic, several different types are mentioned in the Bible, such as othonia and sindon. Marino states that “many people are familiar with the Turin Shroud, believed by many to be the sindon (in the original Greek) mentioned in Matthew, Mark, and Luke and part of the othonia mentioned by John.”
