Crucifixion

The Crucifixion aspect was featured in my book Last Testament (2023) and included in the expanded edition of The Miracle Painting (2025). It confirms the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.

I was a non-believer in the Holy Shroud until Our Lord informed me that it was indeed His burial cloth, which is the physical receipt of His Atonement—that He conquered death and Hell.

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:18)

Formerly, I preferred to remember Him by His resurrection and shunned the use of crosses (on churches, jewelry, etc.), which reminded me of His suffering. I had to repent and accept the truth that the Shroud was indeed authentic and the cross symbol was appropriate. In fact, it was more than appropriate, enough to be a commandment.

23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.  (1 Corinthians 11:23–26)

The details of Our Lord’s suffering (600 wounds), as recorded by the blood stains on the Shroud, deepened my appreciation for what Our Lord endured, and I realized it shaped His character, much like how traumatic events affect us.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4–5)

The Miracle Painting represents our mortal Lord before He was crucified, so there are no wounds in His hands or wrists. There is a scar (not a vein), however, on the top right side of His forehead, which portends to His crucifixion and can only be noticed in the enlarged versions.

This shows the alignment of the blood stain on The Shroud with the scar.

Shroud Blood Stain Overlaid the Scar

The zigzag bead of blood on His left forehead in the top Shroud image is of His right forehead, for that is the inside of the burial cloth that was laid over His face. Our Lord purposely had Glenda paint the scar, and she was unaware of its significance, as she wasn’t privy to its many symbolic meanings.
