Face Cloth

There is an old story that has been around for some time. I do not remember the author's name. The story goes than when a carpenter in Biblical times finished a project, he would then wash with a face towel and basin of water that had been laid out for him. He would then fold the towel and place it separate from the basin. This let the owner know the work he had come to do was finished.

When the disciples entered the Tomb, after Jesus had been resurrected they found the face cloth was folded, and placed separately from the other cloths. Do you think that behind the rock that had been rolled over the opening, that Jesus took the face cloth, folded it, and placed it separately as if to say "It is finished?"
