Shroud page 12 by ric gustafson
The legate of the Imperial Guard walked into the king's private chamber.
" Your Highness". He smiled. " Mesrop has returned".
Mesrop entered with another man behind him. Mesrop was holding a leather case.
" Your Highness, I bring you a greeting from the Apostle Simon Peter".
King Abgar stared at the stranger. " And who is this?".
" Your Highness, this is the Apostle Thaddeus".
The king smiled. " You are one of the twelve".
Thaddeus bowed. " I am".
" Here is a gift from Peter". Mesrop handed the king the leather case. " It is a gift for your safe keeping".
Mesrop opened the case. He carefully took out the cloth. He handed it to the king.
" It is the Shroud". The king was speechless as he looked at it. " It is the face of Jesus".
Mesrop smiled. " Peter trusts you to safeguard it".
" I shall safeguard it with my life".
