(Podcast 4.5.19) Why Was the Head Covering of Jesus Wrapped to the Side?

On this edition of the Bellator Christi Podcast, Brian G. Chilton seeks to answer a question submitted to him. According to an online story that is circulating, a Jewish mealtime tradition explains why the napkin on Jesus’s head was folded and placed to the side after his resurrection. Did such a mealtime tradition actually exist? If it did, does the tradition relate to the folding of Jesus’s headcloth? Find out the truth related to the tradition and an even more bizarre twist to the resurrection coming from the data from John’s Gospel.
