Michael's comment on 2014-08-22 08:10:32:

Joseph was also the one who purchased the napkin for Jesus ' head the head cloth and since there were no burial shrouds available but plenty of large table cloths as it was the Passover and there was a merchant not far from the Damascus Gate , he purchased a large table cloth to substitute for Jesus ' burial shroud. This table cloth was a fine Syrian 3 over 1 twill very expensive but affordable as Joseph was quite wealthy.
