A Miracle of the Ressurection

If one examines classic style Greek iconographic representations of the empty tomb, on the morning of resurrection, one will notice the "winding sheets", hinting at a kind of miracle which Western Christianity overlooks. Gospel passages also make curious mention of these sheets.

In those times, the body was wound round and round with strips of cloth, like a mummy. One obvious miracle of the resurrection was that these winding sheets were lying, collapsed, but still perfectly wound, as though the body they contained had simply vanished, or, in some ghostly and supernatural fashion, had passed right through the winding sheets, leaving them undisturbed.
