27. RESURRECTION OF THE SHROUD OF TURIN
- 209.157.64.200
- RESURRECTION OF THE SHROUD OF TURIN.
- The Shroud of Turin is an ancient piece of fine linen, 14 feet 3 inches long by 3 feet 7 inches wide, with the front and back images of a male who has been scourged, beaten, crowned with thorns, crucified, and pierced in the heart in a manner consistent with the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth as described in Scripture. ...
- The last information that most Christians have on the Shroud of Turin is from the 1988 carbon 14 dating studies which announced world-wide, on the basis of a test on a single sample from the Shroud by three laboratories, that the Shroud is a medieval fake dating 1260-1390 A. ... This reinforced a long-standing claim by one individual that the Shroud image is a medieval European painting. He bases this claim on his observation of threads with a pigment coating found on 1978 sticky tape samples from the surface of the Shroud. Also, in 1994, a claim received wide media coverage that some investigators had supposedly been able to replicate all of the features of the Shroud image by a carbon dusting art technique, thus claiming to have driven the last nail into the coffin of the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. Almost as to sign the death certificate of the Shroud and seal it in a tomb, three books have come out in the past year 1994, all claiming to reveal the truth about the Shroud. Two claimed that the image of the Man on the Shroud showed that he was not really dead, but only in a coma, and hence not needing a resurrection. The third supposedly proved that the Shroud was actually a photograph produced by Leonardo da Vinci. ...
- Recent studies by a number of other investigators have shown these desperate attempts to debunk or discredit or distort the Shroud of Turin are fallacious, and that the Shroud remains the most intensively studied, the most controversial, the most mysterious, and the most remarkable object in existence. ...
- The single sample from the Shroud was taken from the dirtiest corner of the Shroud in an area that was rewoven, probably in the 17th century, in complete violation of the protocol for detailed analysis of seven different samples set up by a commission of 24 carbon dating experts in Turin in 1986. ... Living bacteria and fungi were found growing inside the linen fibers of the Shroud. Tests have shown that atmospheric carbon would have been chemically bonded to the Shroud linen during the fire of 1532 which produced the scorch marks and holes now seen on the shroud. ...
- Most remarkably, studies on the image fibers on the Shroud itself have shown that the image is due to a physical/chemical change in the surface of the fibers themselves, and that there are no pigments, dyes, or stains (other than the obvious blood) to account for the image. Detailed studies on the body image, and of the many non-body objects whose images have been identified on the Shroud, such as the coins over the eyes, the phylacteries or Jewish prayer boxes, the crucifixion nails, the Roman spear, and the hundreds of flowers, indicate that the visible images were formed in part by electron corona, which is a high voltage electrical current which flows over the surface of objects and is discharged from irregularities and high points on the objects. More recent studies of the three-dimensional images produced by superimposing the positive and negative photographs on top of one another show that the underlying skeletal system of the hands, wrists, skull and teeth can be clearly seen on the Shroud. ... , soft X-rays came vertically from the depths of every portion of the body and combined with the coronal images from the surface to produce the body image that we see on the Shroud. ... The appearance of the blood clots shows that the body disappeared from within the Shroud without the cloth being unwrapped. ... Attempts to date the Shroud to the middle ages are absurd, as there are identifiable images of two Jewish coins, the 'leptonsô or widow's mites of Pontius Pilate, one over each eye. ... Eusebius, the early Church historian, dates the transfer of an object (the Shroud, which was rolled and mounted in a frame so that only the face showed) from Jerusalem to King Abgar in Edessa in A. ... There are statues of various divinities in the Middle East which are clearly influenced by the Shroud face 8 mm. ... 692 and showing about 180 points of congruence between the coin image and the Shroud. This shows clearly that the die cutters and iconographers were copying their images directly from the Shroud, and that they considered the image to be of divine origin and to be that of Jesus. Attempts to localize the origin of the Shroud to Europe equally fail.

- Pharmacist Uses Holy Shroud as Aid to Conversion.
- " For the past fifteen years Bill Grimme has presented a 50-minute slideshow on the subject of the Holy Shroud of Turin, long believed to be the sacred burial cloth of Jesus. Grimme believes that when used with the Scriptures, the Shroud "can be the greatest visual aid in existence for bringing understanding and the reality of Jesus Christ toward conversion. " He talks of the Shroud as a visual catechesis.
- " He has believed in the authenticity of the Holy Shroud since his mother gave him a prayer card of the photographic image when he was a boy. As an adult, his scientific background has assisted him in evaluating the scientific research and convinced him of the authenticity of the Shroud. ... " For this reason, he says, scientists sometimes refer to the Holy Shroud as a "fifth Gospel. ...
- , had her students write their reactions to Grimmes Shroud presentation.
- One student, presumably 13 or 14, wrote after the Shroud presentation: "I learned that Jesus really did walk the earth and is really real. ...
- Many of the men, he said, expressed fully their love for Jesus after hearing about the Shroud. ...
- " Recent history of the Shroud began in 1898 when the Archbishop in Turin was about to relegate the Holy Shroud to a museum. A picture was taken of the cloth for catalogue purposes by Secondo Pia. He found that the image of the Shroud was, in fact, a negative, exactly like that of a black-and-white photo. ...
- The Shroud also shows clear evidence of more than 160 wounds from a severe scourging with a weighted whip, a large wound in the side of the chest as from the thrust of a spear, and streams of blood in the hair and on the brow from a crown of thorns (so far as we know a unique torture invented to mock Christ).
- Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs were stunned when they placed a photograph of the face of the Shroud in a state-of-the-art computerized image enhancer that had been designed for the Mariner Space Program. The Shroud picture was found to contain encoded information which produced an uncanny three-dimensional image. It is therefore possible, say scientists, that the image of the Shroud contains X-ray information. ... Current technology makes possible a computer "map" of the Shroud, which will be very useful when conducting future experiments.

A review is then given of some of the findings of a recently established body of evidence (1) which strongly indicates that the image which appears on the Shroud of Turin was produced by means of a technique which (it is normally assumed), was only invented in the late eighteenth century, viz: negative photography. ...
- High above the altar of the Royal Chapel of Turin Cathedral, reposes a linen cloth which is believed by some to be the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ. This historically unique relic, known popularly as the Holy Shroud of Turin, and which contains a highly naturalistic (albeit negative), two-fold image of a naked man has a pedigree stretching back to its first recorded exposition in Lirey in 1357 AD. In this regard, carbon dating tests undertaken by the radiocarbon laboratories of Oxford, Tucson and Zurich in 1988 seem to support the interpretation that the Shroud of Turin was produced sometime between 1260 - 1357 AD (Damon 1989:611-615).
- In appearance, the Shroud is an ivory-coloured linen strip, woven in a herringbone twill which measures c. ... Indeed, most authorities who have had the privilege of seeing the Shroud at first-hand, confirm that the image is so faint that it is visually coherent only at a distance of some seven metres (Wilson 1978:9). In addition to this, it is important to keep in mind that only since 1898 (when Secondo Pia took the first photographs of this relic) has it been possible for anyone to appreciate that the image has many of the characteristics of a modern day photographic negative, ie all highlights are depicted as shaded areas, and conversely, all dark and shaded areas are shown as highlights. For example, if the polarity of this image is reversed (eg by making a photographic negative of the Shroud) one can clearly see a positive, seemingly three-dimensional image of a man. ... ) This positive version of the Shroud's image (contrary to its normal negative appearance) is highly naturalistic and detailed. ...

- So why did this countenance manifest itself with all the characteristics which belonged to him during his lifetime? These are clearly evident, if without prejudice we observe the Secondo Pia 1898 photographs, as Daniel Porter states: "There are blood stains seemingly in the man's hair not in proper registration with the source wounds on the side of the forehead: thus indicating that the cloth was in a different position when the bloodstains and images were formed. ...
- It is possible that the photographs are much more representative of the all pervading life body transmuting the Shroud images into a body of light than even the extraordinary negative of that body as seen on the original cloth.
- It is surely to see the transcendent aspect more clearly through the lens of Secondo Pia and the full-length figure of Enrie in 1931.
- After all, was it not Thomas the doubter to whom the revelation was given of the wounds in the Saviour's side and of his psychophysical presence?

- "Using our Polarized Image Overlay Technique, we have examined hundreds of depictions of Jesus in every type of artistic medium from one-fourth-inch-high faces on coins to gigantic mosaics covering the ceilings of great cathedrals from the sixth century on, and we have been able to show that the Mandylion/Shroud face was used as the prototype for almost all of these images.

- If indeed the Shroud was the source for many works of art including icons as early as 550 CE and Byzantine period coins struck during the time of Justinian II (685-711 CE), it is inconceivable that the Shroud is a medieval forgery.

- New and Undisclosed Secrets of The Turin Shroud.
- During the last decade, simmering beneath the surface of everyday happenings, a growing revelation has taken place in our understanding of Christianity and, in particular, the vastly influential and critically important issue of the authentication, or denigration of the Turin Shroud, the most widely debated Image in the World. ...
- First revealed in 1898 by Secondo Pia from faint markings on a burial cloth, when developed from a photographic negative, it mysteriously manifested as the recognisable countenance of a crucified man.
- To drink from that well is the beginning of understanding, for in the interpretations of what Christ taught to his intimate disciples we might discern how and why the peculiarly mystical nature of Christ's revelation bore a direct relevance to the Man of the Shroud.
- The extraordinary thing is that the Turin Shroud Image in every detail reveals who and what he was by certain telling signs, but regrettably there is little knowledge of Mandean-Nazarene rites, and still less acceptance by orthodox Church teachings of the early Gnostic origins of Christianity. ...
- Therefore now is the time to enumerate and explore the salient features of the Turin Shroud and its relation to early Nazarene burial customs and identify the different Church and Nazarene concepts of resurrection.
- It certainly was not a painting, for no details such as those described could possibly have been known by anyone until this century, so a medieval forgery the Shroud certainly was not.

- Ian Wilson had worked with NASA to achieve this effect on the Turin Shroud, but apparently felt that the enclosed intensifications came nearer than any other process to defining the face. He claimed it was a world first at a presentation of them at the Turin Shroud Society in London.

- In addition, since 1532, the Shroud's image has been marred and visually dominated by unsightly scorch marks caused by an accidental fire.
- If it is to be accepted that the Shroud is, in fact, simply a painted/dyed/stained product of a medieval band of forgers, intent only on profit and gain, then why is our culture (with its highly sophisticated technology and expertise) still unable to explain its means of production, far less duplicate it? Also, (assuming as most people do, that this image was intended to be read as an imprint of Jesus Christ) why did its creators go to so much trouble over this relic when, conceivably, they could have quite easily satisfied the needs of the credulous with a production far less sophisticated than the Shroud actually is. ... However, the Shroud not only shows Christ uncharacteristically naked, but with the marks of the nails in his wrists and with the marks of a `helmet' rather than a `crown' of thorns. ...
- In addition to these non-conformist, possibly heretical depictions of Christ, the image in the Shroud (as revealed by Pia's negative photographs), displays a degree of anatomical/medical/pathological knowledge that simply was not available to even a prominent medieval natural philosopher let alone a medieval artist or forger of relics. Indeed, the depiction by the Shroud of such anatomical details as the reflex action of the thumb when an object is forced into the wrist at the Place of Destot was not documented until this century (ie by Barbet in the early 1930s). ...

Another way to see the positive image on the Shroud of Turin is by staring at a single point on its negative image for a minute and then observing the after-image by looking at a blank surface. ...

- Three-dimensionality: The intensity of the image varies according to the distance of the body from the cloth, strongly suggesting that the body did not in fact come into direct contact with the Shroud. The mathematical ratio is so precise that Jackson and Jumper were able to create a three-dimensional replica from the image of the Shroud taken in 1931 by G. ...

44. A reappraisal of late thirteenth century responses to the Shroud ...
- wintersteel.homestead.com
- A reappraisal of late thirteenth century responses to the Shroud of Lirey-Chambйry-Turin: encolpia of the Eucharist, vera eikon or supreme relic? .
- Notwithstanding, only ninety years previously (ie in 1898), the amateur photographer, Secondo Pia had (by means of yet another invention of the modern scientific era, viz. , photography), produced evidence which (it was previously believed), supported the remarkable interpretation that the Shroud was a product of divine authorship1. In this context, Pia's negative photographic images revealed such precise physiological information about the man in the Shroud, that it was possible for medical practitioners and sindonologists alike, to claim that they could determine (amongst other things), the man's race and age (Wilcox, 1978 : 129-36; Stevenson, 1981 : 42-5, 153-4), the exact cause of his death and even such facts as the number of men who scourged him (Stevenson, 1981 : 45-6; Rinaldi, 1972 : 28). ...
- However, what seems to have been overlooked here, is that before the advent of modern photography and our supposedly superior scientific understanding of the workings of the natural world, who on earth would have been able to have deciphered the incredible details encoded within the Shroud of Turin? Furthermore, if we are obliged to accept that this artifact is nothing more than a mere medieval forgery of Christ's burial cloth, then how precisely did these `forgers' produce it and what were the circumstances which necessitated them to manufacture it in the way they actually did? Finally, how would a person living in the late thirteenth century have treated with this artifact? After all, the Shroud obviously purports to be the original linen cloth that wrapped the crucified Christ, `imprinted' with his divine image an image (albeit negative) which is miraculously composed of Christ's own blood and sweat 2. As can be appreciated, all of these factors, when viewed together, make it quite difficult to classify the Shroud (in terms of a more logocentric tradition) as being either an eikon, a religious image or a relic. ...
- For example, if viewed as an eikon, one may be tempted to favour the interpretation that the Shroud is of Byzantine origin. This is because, without the benefit of photographic enhancement, the image on the Shroud, (ie as it would have appeared to the medieval viewer), depicts Christ with large owlish eyes, whose feet point downwards, seemingly defying gravity. These factors taken together with the observation that the composition is strictly frontal, vertically symmetrical and appears to the uninformed spectator as a mere two-dimensional design, seem to relate the Shroud more readily with the accepted standards of early Byzantine iconography. ...
- In this modern guise, the Shroud suddenly concurs with many aspects of western art. ...
- In addition, the Shroud seems to refer directly to the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist and can therefore be shown to date from a time when the Christian faith had become more focussed on the personality of Christ. ...
- Considering that by the thirteenth century, the transubstantiated bread and wine of the Eucharist were believed by the faithful to be far more important than other relics of saints (regardless of their actual manufacture, authenticity or pedigree), one wonders how the faithful, Byzantine or otherwise, would have viewed the Shroud as a relic of the Passion, since it would have had to have been considered as not only the tangible linen burial cloth, which enclosed the Saviour's mortal remains but also as the corporeal remains of Christ's cherished sweat and blood, the self-same blood that was shed at Calvary for the atonement of the sins-of-the-world. ...
- However, in terms of its unique means of production, the Shroud of Turin, regardless of whether it is actually western or eastern in origin, does not compare to any product made by man before the beginning of the nineteenth century, a consideration that has distracted researchers for over a century. If one, for example, briefly reviews the deductions of the famous 1978 STURP commission (Accetta, 1980 : 1921-9; Adler, 1980 : 2742-4; Pellicori, 1980 : 1913-20, 1981 : 39; Culliton, 1978 : 235-9; Weaver, 1980 : 730-752), which subjected the Shroud of Turin to some very impressive scientific testing, including such things as X-ray analysis, micro-photography, organic chemistry and spectroscopy, then one has to consider very seriously the following (verifiable) characteristics of the image, viz. ...
- * Superficiality: The image is essentially the discolouration of the uppermost fibres of the linen threads of the Shroud's fabric. The image has not `penetrated' the threads nor is it visible on the underside of the Shroud. ...

- www.h7.dion.ne.jp
- In recent years, 3-D images of the Man of the Shroud in Turin have been reported by various researchers. However, most of these images only express the bumps of the surface of the Man of the Shroud.
- As a result, the rendering of the Man of the Shroud viewed from an angle became possible. ...
- 3-D information hidden in the Shroud and its limits.
- Since the first photograph of the Shroud was taken by Secondo Pia in 1898, many kinds of researches were undertaken by the various researchers on the image of the Shroud. ...
- Looking at these images, one must wonder why the computer-generated images of the same Shroud differ so much. ... The Man of the Shroud has the following basic problems:.
- That is to say, the primary problem to build 3-D image is that the Shroud has an extremely poor SN-Ratio.
- When building 3-D data of the Man of the Shroud, under the assumption that the shading is related to the distance (between the fabric and the body), we further have the following problems; .
- 4, 5 and 6 are the output images generated by the same set of the author's programs by using the same source image of the Shroud.
- After creating numerous images by changing the parameter combination, the author learned that the 3-D information obtained from the Man of the Shroud has certain limitations.
- While repeating the simulation of the Man of the Shroud, the author recognized that the rendering process is quite similar to the process of bump mapping. That is, the image of the Man of the Shroud is equivalent to the source picture in bump mapping.
- The data hidden in the Shroud is only for the bumpiness of the surface. The Shroud does not get to hold the whole 3-D data of the object.
- In this case, value X and Y are already fixed according to the image on the Shroud. On the other hand, the sufficient value of Z is hard to obtain from the Shroud, as mentioned in the previous chapter. ...
