The Message in the Neatly Folded Napkin in Jesus’ Tomb!
There have been several debates and questions regarding the “Neatly Folded Napkin” at Jesus tomb. To me it doesn’t matter whether there is truth or significance in the napkin being folded or not. Either way, I know He is coming back and the below is a nice story to share at Easter. The actual story is at the very bottom of this post, the beginning debates whether there is any truth or significance in the story.
Summary from Truth or Fiction:
According to this forwarded email, the head covering over the body of Jesus Christ in the grave was a neatly “folded napkin.” It goes on to say that among Jews of the time a master would let his servants know whether he was finished eating or coming back to the table by the way he left his napkin. If he tossed it aside, he was finished. If he folded it, he was not finished and would return. The hidden message in the story is that by laying his “napkin” aside and neatly folded Jesus was saying he was coming back.
There are a couple of problems with this eRumor. One is the translation or interpretation of the Bible verse quoted. The other is the alleged Jewish custom referenced in the story.
The eRumor is based on whether the cloth was a “napkin” and was “folded” in the empty tomb of Jesus.
