That’s not merch, that’s the Veil of Veronica. Very significant catholic story/artifact. The story is that when she wiped the blood and sweat off of Jesus his face appeared on the cloth. You’ll find depictions of this in most old catholic churches and many paintings

I love how seriously Catholics took their fanfic to the point that they have Saints based solely on myth and “cool story bro” scenarios

You will be shocked but absolutely everything in Catholicism is based on myth and “cool story bro” scenarios.

I guess it was like doing Instagram pranks without the internet. “Yoooo, an angel just totally appeared to me” just to get attention back in that days when everyone was bored as fuck. If someone believes your bullshit, and writes it down and hides it for a thousand years, suddenly it’s a religious fact

think again

https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5899670

that is THE MERC that started it all, merc zero.

“The Veil was owned by the Leonelli family until 1608. Pancrazio Petrucci, a soldier married to Marzia Leonelli, stole the Veil from his father-in-law’s house. A few years later, Marzia sold it for 400 scudi to Doctor Donato Antonio De Fabritiis to pay a ransom demand for her husband, who was then a prisoner in Chieti.”

Front of shirt: “Went to the crucifixion of Christ and all I got was this stupid T-shirt…”

Back of shirt: “… and absolution for my sins”

The people celebrating the Crucifixion probably didn’t believe in all that dying for sins stuff right?

I know but the comment above mine said it would be written on a shirt and that’s why I called it out.

This is a conversation about a hypothetical shirt I just wanted to be sure we fact check here lol

well there was probably awareness of ideas of sacrifice, punishment, right/wrong. Old ideas…
