The Hungarian Pray Codex and Winchester Cathedral both depict the Shroud of Turin with a herringbone weave matching the real artifact, including circular burn holes. Researcher Hugh Nibley proposed that L-shaped burn marks on the Shroud match L-shapes on angel cloaks in Byzantine Constantinople art. These "L's" or "shining ones" may have known of the Shroud. Fascinating theory! 🕊️📜
