That the face on the Holy Shroud belongs to Jesus hardly seems the wisest conclusion. If so, thousands of people, spurred on by religious fanaticism and aided by plastic surgery and 3-D technologies, would take this face as their own; better that it remain unknown, so that it can change according to the different ideas we each have about it and, at the same time, be the same face. Like a fractal that, ultimately, would reinvent human complexity.
