RoyalBeatz07 thinks he has it figured out.
So the choices are simple, 1) Jesus Christ is the image on the Shroud of Turin and is left-handed! 2) Jesus Christ is the image on the Shroud and was desecrated by his followers! 3) Left-hander Leonardo Da Vinci is the image on the Shroud and he posed naturally. 4) A left-handed unknown individual is the image on the Shroud. 5) The experts can’t tell which side is the up side of the Shroud. Isn’t it interesting that a left-hander noticed it? When all the experts have looked at it, and run out of ideas, then it’s time for a left-hander to look at it. We see things that right-handers miss.
There is also the possibility that contrary to what RoyalBeatz07 thinks, Jesus’ followers accidentally put his left hand over his right even if (and this is arguable and speculative) it was the wrong thing to do. Filed under something to think about someday.
I read somewhere that Da Vinci painted Jesus & Mary as left handed. If he was the creator of the shroud, then maybe there’s a reason why he so insisted on portraying Jesus as left handed.
what was the big deal with being left handed back in those days anyway?
If the image is considered to be produced by bodily contact with the inside of the shroud, then it’s reversed (like a rubber stamp), and the right hand is actually on top.
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus was left-handed.
This is because I have always strongly felt the physical presence of Jesus each time I received Eucharist. He always wraps his LEFT arm tightly around my shoulder after weekly Communion at Mass.
I had always felt Jesus’ physical presence within and beside me since I received my First Communion at age 7. I don’t know of other Catholics who have this experience after receiving Eucharist.
I’m 64 and a devout Catholic.
I feel I’m truly blessed in Jesus revealing one of His very personal traits to me since my childhood.
Sincerely,

It is safe to say, that there is & never will be an artifact that has caused so much debate ! It is indeed a one of a kind. The schroud of Turin is as far as I am concerned the real thing.
To me there is more in favor vs. not in favor as far as being athentic ! If such an artifact can cause such a debate, and stand out so much as far as being such a one of a kind item that it than leans towards being the ovious and that is IT IS REAL !!!! Maybe someday, some how dna could be taken from the schroud and compared with other items that are said to contain some blood of our Lord. Again, YOU have look at it as it is , a one of a kind-nothing else like it !!!! Front, and the back—-of a man—-who was whipped, crowned with a crown of thorns, Nailed to a cross, stabbed into his rib !!! The nail holes—-where they should be , especially as far as the wrist vs. the through the hand debate. The image shows, just how much agnoy was felt and just how much blood letting was experienced ! There is no other supposed relic that shows so much detail of how our LORD suffered !!! I wonder if when the final days do come if in fact, in a phyisical sense the shroud will react and or be come some how be a phyisical sign that Christ is now about to come !!! A beacon so to speak !
Faith is both simple and complecated. One must take the side befets common understanding if he/she so wishes just for a settled mind or choose to frustrate over matters whose answers need divine involvement.
