Chapter 187: The Sacred Skin of Jesus

"This is Madrid?"

The three of them got out of the airport, went directly to the taxi to find a hotel to stay, and then visited under the leadership of Wang Hong.

"This is Albarracín, near Teruel in northeastern Spain, there is a small town called Albarracín, which is not a small town, but it has been voted the most beautiful town in Spain, and it is also one of the world cultural heritage sites."

The next day they arrived at their destination, a beautiful town full of medieval buildings and churches and castles all the way.

The three of them easily left the city and came to this exotic place, Wang Hong relaxed: "The most special thing here is the intricate terrain, the steps and alleys, the houses with northern characteristics Caserío and the unique red color form the simple folk customs of the town. ”

"If you look closely, the building material in the town is basically made of plaster, and there are even more buildings made of this material than there are stones in the town. Another amazing thing is that in every corner, every house has a large magnet gecko glued to the door, which is said to be a belief that has been passed down by the townspeople for many years. ”

While visiting, Wu Tianyuan let the cross sense the location of the treasure, and after a while, he finally discovered the destination, a small ancient castle.

"Another castle?"

Wu Tianyuan shook his head, he just bought a dilapidated castle in the UK, and it has not been renovated yet, but the scenery is very good, and he can come on vacation in the future.

Wang Hongtong Guò's embassy got the specific information, and then contacted the seller, who was an intermediary, and the castle had been idle for many years, and it was quickly sold for two million euros.

Wu Tianyuan opened the secret room and found a treasure chest hidden deeply, on which were paintings, three oil paintings of Picasso and two character sketches.

"This is Michelangelo's draft?"

Wu Tianyuan was already immune to Picasso, so he put it down casually and picked up a few pieces of parchment, which turned out to be Michelangelo's drafts.

"Genesis!"

"Tron zào Adam!"

"Create Zào Eve!"

"Creation Zào Adam" is an important part of Michelangelo's representative frescoes. Because of his fame in Florence, Pope Julius II invited him to attend the Mausoleum of the Pope, which was interrupted. In 1508 he was forced to accept the task of painting the roof of the Sistine Chapel, and he was in a state of grief and indignation, but the fresco would become the greatest masterpiece of his life.

The Sistine roof mural covers an area of about 500 square meters, making it one of the largest murals in the history of art. In the central part of the hall, Michelangelo painted nine consecutive religious paintings of various sizes framed by the building, all based on the biblical story of the opening of the world and the ark of the flood.

Titled "God Divides Light and Darkness", "Creation of the Sun, Moon, Grass and Trees", "Divine Water and Land", "Creation of Adam", "Creation of Eve", "Temptation and Expulsion from Paradise", "Noah's Sacrifice", "The Flood", and "Noah's Drunkenness", this giant mural took more than four years to complete.

"Creation Zào Adam" is the most touching scene in the whole zenith painting, this scene does not directly depict God shaping Adam, but depicts the moment when the divine spark is about to touch Adam: God flying from the sky, stretching his finger to Adam, is about to pass on his soul to Adam as if he were connected to power. This dramatic moment wonderfully juxtaposes man with God and triggers a sense of infinite awe.

"This should be Michelangelo's draft, and it's valuable for the church, hehe!"

Wu Tianyuan became excited, looking for treasures all day long, now it is difficult for ordinary treasures to arouse his interest, only this special meaning, can be used to exchange with the museum is interesting.

"What is this?"

Wu Tianyuan collected the draft, and found a delicate box at the bottom of the box, and when he opened it, it was not jewelry, but a piece of flesh and skin.

"This is the holy skin of Jesus! Priceless! ”

The cross shouted, Wu Tianyuan was nauseated, and quickly covered the box, priceless treasure? Isn't it just a **skin!

The Sacred Skin is one of several relics left by Jesus in the world. Historically, several churches in Europe have claimed to have the skin cut off by Jesus during his lifetime, and they have claimed to have miraculous powers.

According to the Christian doctrine of the church, Jesus ascended to heaven in the flesh forty days after the resurrection. The few relics left in the world include the ** skin that he cut off during circumcision when he was a child.

There has also been a theological debate about whether Jesus was complete if he did not include the skin when he ascended into heaven. This then leads to the debate about whether Jesus should ascend to heaven along with the hair and nails that have fallen. It has also been pointed out that because Jesus' ascension into heaven was a miracle, it should be exempt from these restrictions.

A number of churches in Europe claim to own some or all of the Skin, including one in Carca, Italy, which until 1983 had been on its own on annual parades. Later, their relics were stolen by thieves and their whereabouts are unknown.

Another family in the French church claimed that their holy skin was left by King Henry V of England in the Middle Ages, when Henry V's wife was pregnant, and the smell of the holy skin was said to have a fetal effect, and Henry V specially borrowed it from elsewhere to use it, but did not return it because of its effect.

"According to you, this could be the one stolen from Italy?"

After listening to the cross, Wu Tianyuan estimated that this may be the lost **skin, since it is a holy relic, then the Vatican Museums should be interested, right?

The Sacred Skin is a very important historical object in the history of Christianity, and its fame is comparable to that of the Holy Grail, the Shroud, and the True Cross.

First of all, Jews were skinned eight days after birth, and Jew, of course, Jesus was no exception.

At the beginning of the thirteenth century, eight churches claimed that they had a collection of holy skins. Faced with such a question, the cunning Pope III refused to rule on which was genuine, saying: "Only God can know the truth about this thorny question." ”

In response to this statement, more churches joined the ranks of fans of the Holy Skin, so that at least 12 places claimed to have the "Holy Skin" of Jesus during the same period, and the "Holy Skin" of Chatterus was said to be the most powerful, and the infertile woman would become prolific just by looking at it.

Like many true crosses, all the skins together are large enough to make a large purse.

According to the theory that Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection, Jesus would not have been complete if he had not included the skin when he ascended to heaven.

After many years of controversy, the Spanish Jesuits concluded that Christ ascended to heaven in a circumcised state. As a result, the spiritual body, which cannot be doubted, had to retain "a part of the substance that originally belonged to his body that grew by constant nourishment", that is to say, the skin of Christ continued to grow.

"Don't forget me, I'm the Ring of Valor left behind by the Crusades!"

Wu Tianyuan finally found a silver ring in the corner, only a mysterious pattern, it turned out to be a treasure left by the crusaders?

After some exchanges, Wu Tianyuan was satisfied with the middle finger of his left hand, the index finger was wearing the Ring of Conquest, and now there were more Rings of the Brave of the Crusaders, and they all said that there were many treasures waiting to be discovered, and they took their time one by one.

That word can't be displayed, everyone can only understand!
