' Who believes in me shall never die.' <br /> Jesus Christ <br /> <br /> <br />The figure on the Shroud is a man of about 30 years of age. He is 5ft 11in tall, bearded with long hair. <br /> <br /> <br />I have seen the face of Christ <br />Imprinted from his blood <br />Upon the shroud that wrapped him. <br />Evidence of agonies suffered <br />Crown of thorns puncturing flesh <br />Nail wounds in wrists and feet <br />Body covered, front and back <br />Embedded with marks from Roman lash <br />Face, struck many times <br />Nose broken and lips lacerated <br />Swellings, contusions below closed eyes <br />Shoulders covered with bloody bruises <br />From carrying the heavy wooden cross <br />On the right side, between the lower two ribs <br />The wound of a spear thrust towards the heart. <br /> <br />I look upon the face of Jesus Christ <br />In awe and wonder that love <br />Suffered so much for both you and I.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shroud-of-turin/
