• The Shroud new face: the old darns have been eliminated .
• but the restoration was absolutely necessary. ” by Marco TRABUCCO A restoration has changed the Shroud of Turin look. A lot of the darns which were in several areas of the relic have disappeared, more or less triangular patches that were in couples, parallel to the man's frontal image printed on the sheet, and that had been skillfully sewn by the Chambéry Clare nuns, who restored the linen after the 1532  fire, which had damaged the Shroud in many areas. ...
• The restoration already carried out and the analyses which will be carried out in the future are led in total agreement with the Holy See and on the basis of the indications emerged from the 2000 world-wide symposium, which took place in Turin in March 2000. ...
• "Since the Sixties," specifies Gian Maria Zaccone, the Shroud Museum Guardian, who has collaborated on the Shroud's restoration, "scholars had explained that it would have been better to keep the Shroud extended and not rolled up in the precious case in which it has been kept for centuries. ...   "Yes," adds Zaccone, who had had the opportunity to see the Shroud in its "new" version. ...
• A month ago the most important intervention was completed by Mechtild Flury-Lemberg, Swiss, an expert in textile restorations and a member of the Commission for the Shroud conservation. ... 11 m wide, has been moved from the new case in the Cathedral of Turin, in the church left transept.   There, first Flury-Lemberg replaced the "Holland cloth," which the Shroud had been sewn for more than 500 years, then she removed and sewed again some thirty darns and patches, the work of the Clare nuns, but also of later and less accurate interventions; she did it in order to make the darns and the patches less visible, but, above all, the experts explain, "because, during the past centuries, the sheet, however in good condition, has undergone many vicissitudes and the extended position provoked new static and mechanical problems. ...   "We need to think of the Shroud also as a hand-made item, which, as such," Zaccone explains, "needs these interventions. ...
• The results of the restoration will be illustrated to the press and also documented photographically in mid-September. ...   There are three main directions:  two scientific ones, to understand the linen age (many question the 14C analyses, which put it in the Medieval Age) and the mechanism by which the image was printed on the sheet, and a historical one, to understand when the Shroud, first mentioned in Lirey, close to Troyes, in France, in 1356, really appeared. ...

• Western carbon daters got the Turin Shroud’s age wrong, say Russians.
•   On April 21, 1988 a small piece of the Turin Shroud measuring seven square centimeters, was cut off from the Shroud under the supervision of Cardinal Anastacio Ballestrero, the Archbishop of Turin, and an international team of experts. ...
• After processing and averaging the results, the scientists came to the conclusion that the Shroud was made in the period AD1260 - 1390. ...
• However, Russian scientists are now convinced that the date was wrong because the western experts disregarded the complicated history of the Shroud when determining its age. In a phenomenon familiar to geologists, they believe that the Shroud was probably "rejuvenated" one or more times during its chequered past.
• In 1532 a fire broke out in the church of Chambery, where the Shroud was then being kept. The Shroud was affected by smoke and its edges charred. Later the Shroud was carefully cleaned of dirt and soot and the burned spots were patched. In the 16th Century only one method of cloth restoration existed - they took rags and wiped the Shroud with hot oil (olive oil, linseed-oil or nut oil). ...
• Russian scientists believe the processing of the Shroud allowed 16th Century carbon to impregnate the material, lowering the radiocarbon age.
• There is also some evidence that the Shroud could have been contaminated at an even earlier date. Some documents testify that in 1508 the Shroud was boiled in linseed oil to prove its authenticity. ...
• Experts at the Russian Centre for the Turin Shroud, Moscow have carried out calculations and experiments with a variety of linen fabric samples. According to them if the Holy Shroud had been produced when those who believe in its authentcity think – namely Easter 33AD, the combined effects of these possible rejuvenations could indeed have added up to 1300 years. ...
• The conclusions of the Russian researchers lend some weight to the opinion, shared by some Western specialists, who believe that studies of the Shroud of Turin that take no account of its complicated and incompletely investigated history are doomed to failure. ...

• The project consisted of three main elements: the removal of patches and a backing sewn onto the Shroud in the 16th century; a digital scan of both sides; and photo documentation. ...
• The restoration was done June 20 to July 23 by Shroud expert Mechthild Flury Lemberg and restorer Irene Tomedi.

• The researchers were allowed a single chance to examine the Turin Shroud. On April 21, 1988 a small piece, its square being about 7 square centimeters, was cut off from the Shroud under the supervision of Cardinal Anastacio Ballestrero, the Archbishop of Turin, and the invited experts. ...

They believe that the western experts have disregarded the complicated history of the Shroud when determining its age. ...
• In 1532 the fire broke out in the church of Chambery, where the Shroud was kept. The sacred relic was damaged in the fire - the edges of the Shroud got charred. Later the Shroud was carefully cleaned from dirt and soot and the burned spots were patched. In the 16th century only one method of cloth restoration was at the disposal of medieval specialists. They used to take tatters and wipe the cloth under restoration by hot oil (namely, olive oil, linseed-oil or nut oil). ... Russian scientists assume that the Holy Shroud was processed after the fire in this particular way, and the 16th century carbon inevitably penetrated the Shroud cloth, this fact misled the radiocarbon dating in 1988. ...
• However, there is another assumption that the Shroud of Turin was processed by vegetable oil. Some documents testify that in 1508 the Shroud was boiled in the linseed-oil to prove its authenticity. Naturally, such processing caused 'rejuvenation' of the carbonic content of the cloth, and the preparation of the Shroud cloth fragments for radiocarbon dating employed by the western scientists failed to remove completely the dried linseed-oil from the Shroud cloth. ...

• According to the famous Einstein’s equation E = mc2, there must be much more energy than that one forming the Shroud images to generate the missing liquid mass (see the item 2. ...
• Partially compatible, because the physical body no longer would exist, allowing the straightening of the Shroud. However,  doing an analogy with normal gravitational fields, an anti gravitational field would be curved in the space and this way, both sides of de Shroud would not be parallel (estimated conformity 2%)  .
