The Vatican Exhibit at the Florida International Museum
The Mandylion of Edessa with the face of Jesus. The third to fifth century image on linen is considered one of the oldest known representations of Jesus present in Rome.The gaunt, bearded face staring from the cloth is among a rare class of artifacts deemed "not made by human hands." According to religious lore Jesus pressed a handkerchief to his face, leaving an indelible imprint of his likeness much like the Shroud of Turin. Craig Litten / AP
