Frank C. Tribbe on Thomas and Parthia: Shroud of Turin Terms

Frank C. Tribbe on Thomas and Parthia from Portrait of Jesus

Tradition has it that, after the Resurrection, through the casting of lots, disciple Thomas, one of 'The Twelve', was given responsibility for carrying Jesus' message to the nation of Parthia. From several sources we learn that, knowing of the correspondence between Abgar and Jesus, Thomas assigned Thaddaeus [one of the orginal 12 disciples - Mark 13:18], one of the 'Seventy', to go to Abgar in fulfillment of Jesus' promise and to carry the Shroud for deposit with Abgar for safekeeping.
