When the Persians pushed on into Egypt, the chest was carried into Spain and entrusted to St. Philip and his precious cargo were welcomed to Alexandria by John the Almoner, bishop of Alexandria at the time. When Persian forces invaded the Byzantine provinces in 614, the oak case in which the Sudarium was kept was spirited out of Palestine through northern Africa by Philip “the Presbyter,” a leader of the Christian community in Palestine.

This small linen napkin, measuring approximately 2¾ feet by 1¾ feet, is called the Sudarium (Latin for “face cloth”). It was Jewish custom at the time of Jesus’ burial to first clean and cover the face, as a sign of respect and compassion for the family. Mourners would then cover the body with fragrant herbs and wrap it in a shroud, or burial cloth. When Jesus rose from the dead, it is believed, he set aside the face cloth before emerging from the tomb. But what about this “face cloth” that was rolled up in a separate place? The “linen wrappings”-well, that’s the shroud, what has become known as the Shroud of Turin. “And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb and he saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.” ( John 20:6-7)
