If the Shroud holds truth then Jesus stood a grand 6-10 inches (15.24-25.4 cm) over the average height of a man for his day, and would still be above average height in the majority of countries today as of 2021 and beyond.īeing tall is a desirable trait, and for centuries 180 cm has been described within 'perfect range' for an adult male's height. Some believe that it the legitimate, while others see this as a religious representation of what he could have looked like, rather than the actual imprint of his body. However, there are debates as to whether the Shroud is Jesus or not. In 2019, after 20 years of studying the Shroud, by using state of the art technology researchers in Rome turned this into a precise 3d 'carbon copy' - a representation of a full-sized body, showing that if this was indeed Jesus, he would have stood around 5'11' or 180.3 cm tall. It has been claimed to be that of Jesus himself, once covering his body.

Theories of how this emerged range from some primitive kind of photography, to being burnt into the cloth through 'radiant energy'. Other sources claim that he could have been much taller than this, and the debate continues.ĭating back to the 13th century, the Shroud of Turin is a supposed cloth image of a crucified man. Various research suggests that for the time he lived Jesus was neither tall nor short, standing at around average height. Was Jesus a Short or Tall Man? (Evidence)
