Can You Make Out Jesus’ Face in This Drop-Cloth?

Mar. 20, 2013 9:28am Billy Hallowell

These days, it’s not entirely uncommon to hear that Jesus’ image has been found in the most unlikeliest of places. On pieces of toast, windows and in other bizarre locations, the Christian figure’s likeness has purportedly appeared. Last week, though, a new location was added to the ever-growing list of apparitions, as Brian Krantz, a resident of Saugus, Mass., claims he found Christ’s face on a drop-cloth.

Brian Krantz Claims He Found Jesus Christ on Drop Cloth

In an interview with WHDH-TV, Krantz explained that he first used the cloth when he was painting his shutters four years ago. Then, he subsequently used it 50 or 60 additional times after that, before noticing what he believes could be a sign from God.

“My heart went a million miles an hour. I was hyperventilating,” he told the outlet. “I can’t deny this. This is what it is. It looks like Jesus Christ.”

KSNW-TV explains how Krantz came to find the purported image:

While at first it appeared to be your average, paint-splattered cloth, a closer look gave Krantz quite a shock, as he claims that he saw what appeared to be a crown or halo, two eyes, a mustache, nose, chin and jaw line.

He’s not sure what it means, but he and his girlfriend, Julie Anne Aloise, are planning to try and figure it out (and in the mean time, they plan to frame the image).

“I’m not sure why, but everybody needs some hope in life. And I hope that this is something that will give him hope,” said Aloise told WHDH-TV.

This is no lie, I was at a friend’s place and he was boiling something on the stove. The phone range and before answering it he put the pot on the edge of his wooden coffee table. When he returned and took the pot to the kitchen I noticed the burn mark looked like Jesus and when flipped over looked like a german shepard dog. If I could put a picture of it on this post I would.

I once tried to sculpt the image of Christ, but it turned out to look more like a stale cheeto..
I was hiking through a forested flood plain once and found the most spectacular piece of wood. It was marvelously formed like a shrouded and cloaked Christ with outstretched arms. You could not look at it without seeing it immediately. The more you looked at it, the more spectacular it became. I looked to my left and there was a near perfect cross formed by 2 trees that had been long fallen.
I left it behind standing in the open for whoever it might be for, thinking they may come along and my place was to place it more advantageously but not in the path, nor obviously, but where it felt right to me at the time. I wonder if they found it. I would have loved to keep it, but I do not believe it was mine. I received my blessing by finding it. It felt right what I did with it. I still feel it as something of a protector or a sign in my life. That’s the part that was for me.

  Why not? Pleanty of Sinners there. And high rollers with “escorts”.
  Gospels indicate Jesus got invited to a number of Dinner Parties with the Rich and Powerful and the Women who are present at such things.

People love the miraculous sign and flock around it, wanting a religious experience. Too often, those same people use their family bible to record births, marriages and deaths and nothing more. Want a religions experience? How about reading your bible and obeying it. Let’s read about what sin actually is and stop doing things that damage your relationship with God. But that never FEELS good. It’s not exciting or titillating. If the face of Jesus was in this cloth, it would have a speech bubble with him saying, please read your bible and apply it to your life.

How do you know what Jesus looks like? There is speculation that He may have had short **** since it is believed that all those citizens under Roman rule were required to have short ****, just like Caesar.

Lots of cynical comments on here.

When Jesus first appeared, he was in a manger among a bunch of farm animals. Folks scoffed at that too.

To me, the image on the drop cloth isn’t extremely clear, but if this guy finds hope in the image of Christ, then who am I to deny him that.

The most likely source of the image that we associate with Jesus is from the Shroud of Turin. It is reported that Jaques DeMolay, the Leader of the Templars at the time, was slow roasted to death by the King of France. The image was most likely produced from his hot body as it was wrapped after the execution. The image was created by the heat and body fluids. The Templars were of course European in features and the Templars wore long **** and beards. You can look up a painting of Jaques and compare it with the shroud. The shroud was kept by the De Charney family which is consistent in most accounts and they were also involved in Templar leadership. It was after this that the common image of Jesus was popular in European art. If the Templars encouraged the interpretation of the image as being that of Jesus only the folks at the Royal Mountain at Hockelega (Mont Real) know for sure.
My guess is that Jesus looked like his father. I don’t believe he looked like a typical Eastern Mediterranean. There were many cultures living in Palestine at the time so having non-Palestinian features would not have been unusual.

  I read that the white image of Christ was Cesare Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI. Leonardo Di Vinci was commissioned to make the original paintings of Borgia that were used by the Catholic church as propaganda against the spread of Islam into Europe. If you look up paintings of Borgia, you can see the resemblance.

  Regarding the possibility of anyone other than Jesus being responsible for the image on the Shroud of Turin- that person would have to have been crucified, whipped with a 3 pronged flagrum over the entire body as the Romans did in the 1st century, lanced in the side, punctured in multiple places around the head. The only fluids on the Shroud are actual blood and serum from those wounds.
  All tests other than the carbon dating test, (which is suspect due to the inaccurate methods employed), point to the linen shroud material originating from the 1st century, as its weave is unique to that time period. It contains an abundance of pollen found only in the Jerusalem area, likewise there are matching particles of dirt around the feet area of the Shroud.
  One conclusion drawn by knowledgeable professional scientists who studied the shroud, is that the image, other than the blood, was not created by contact with the body. So to say that a kind of heat or light is responsible,may be close to the truth, But as yet, nothing made, in an attempt to duplicate this image, comes close to its complexity. It is both a negative image and a 3 dimensional image.
  It is inconceivable that any “artist” of the past could have created this; none today are capable.

  My guess is that artists from a particular period used local nobility for a model of Jesus.
  The Borgia family were Templars. As earlier artists used Jacques as a model it is likely the the leaders of the Italian Templars (The Borgia Family) followed the same tradition.

It’s fascinating to see the limits of Blazers. An angel hovering in clouds (a story from last week), seemed like a miracle to many posters. Jesus on a drop cloth, no way! That’s silly!
