The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Because details of the image are consistent with traditional depictions of Jesus of Nazareth after his death by crucifixion, the shroud has been venerated by Christians for centuries, especially by members of the Catholic Church, as Jesus's shroud upon which his image was miraculously imprinted.
- The human image on the shroud can be discerned more clearly in a black-and-white photographic negative than in its natural sepia colour, an effect discovered in 1898 by Secondo Pia, who produced the first photographs of the shroud.
- This negative image is associated with a popular Catholic devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.
