• of the international Commission was  authorized by the Holy See. ...
• Poletto:  «Shroud, successful restoration» .
•   A special publication is near by Giulio ZAMBRELLI "Next September - Cardinal Poletto informs us - all the information about the interventions recently carried out on the Holy Shroud will be available for the public opinion and the international scientific community, and the images of the "restored" Cloth will be available as well for everybody.   An appropriate publication will contain the new images of the Shroud.   But since now the archbishop of Turin, Custodian of the Shroud, wants to specify:  "The interventions have been carried out reservedly not out of a great desire for secrecy, but to guarantee the necessary calm for those who had to work, besides obvious reasons of safety".   The works carried out on the Shroud are completely included in the indications that in these years the Commission for the preservation supplied to the Custodian (in the Commission there are scientists from several nations, whose task is to study the best conditions for the preservation of the Cloth, and to indicate the necessary applications). ...
•   And it was carried out completely meeting the two conditions that the Holy See itself requested:  that there was the unanimous consent of the members of the Commission for the Shroud preservation, and that the competent authorities of the Italian State (editor's note: the Piedmontese regional Superintendence at the Patrimony) were properly informed".   All the Archbishops of Turin Custodians of the Shroud in the post-war period, from Fossati to Pellegrino, from Ballestrero to Saldarini and now Poletto have always considered the preservation problem has an absolute priority:  for this reason, a Commission appointed to study and plan the interventions on the Cloth has existed for years.   Obviously, the indications of the Commission are submitted to the approval of the Custodian and the Holy Father, who since 1983, for testamentary bequest of Umberto II of Savoy, is the owner of the Shroud. ...
• The "turning-point" in the preservation strategy was the decision to maintain the Cloth no more rolled up around a wooden roller, like it had been for centuries since 1997, when the Shroud was in the Guarini Chapel and then in the Cathedral of Turin until the fire of April 11.   In order to maintain the Shroud extended, it was necessary to study a completely new "system", as the Cloth measures m 4. ...   In these years, from 1997 on, they gradually realized the cases for 1998 and 2000 exhibitions, and the case for the permanent preservation; inside the Cathedral of Turin they located and equipped the areas for the care of the Shroud itself, so that it has a dignified and safe location without, however, interfering with the liturgical life of the Cathedral.   Also the more recent interventions on the Cloth (carried out in proximity of the two exhibitions of 1998 and 2000, and now in the late spring of 2002) come to complete the new strategy of conservation:  maintaining in these years the Shroud extended, it was in fact possible to contain the problem of the "folds", that wrinkled the cloth and made each movement or unrolling problematic.   "The last interventions - the Custodian still comments - were urgent and necessary because they contributed to remove from the Cloth impurities and residues, that could compromise in the time the preservation conditions, and damage the image legibility itself ". ...   For the Cardinal, in the next years this intervention will reveal all its "historical" utility, just because it will have contributed to give back the Shroud to the best possible keeping conditions, also in relationship to the technologies that science currently has.   The work of preservation has nothing to do with the program of scientific researches on the Shroud; moreover, it is not planned any other radiocarbon test in order to verify the dating of the Sheet. ...

• But the Commission for the relic preservation has not been involved. ...
•   The Shroud of Turin is not anymore the one millions and millions of people have venerated and contemplated in the last 1978, 1998 and Jubilee exhibitions. ...   The Shroud of Turin is not anymore the one it has been for nearly five centuries, from April 1534 until some weeks ago. ...   Moreover, the so-called "Holland cloth," then sewn on the back of the Shroud in order to better support it, has been replaced. ...
• The most important antique-relic of Christianity, of universal value, because thought to be Jesus of Nazareth's burial sheet, with amazing confirmations from many scientific tests of various disciplines, has undergone an intervention certainly of no little conservative significance, with the elimination of a restoration of many centuries and remarkable risks for the Shroud Man's image itself. All of that was carried out in the utmost secrecy, without the scientific community and the religious one being informed and without ever being suggested to unsew the patches and the Holland cloth in any of the eight international conferences on the Shroud studies in the last four years.   That demonstrates that no sindonologist thought such an intervention for the Shroud preservation. ...
• The Shroud was removed from the new case put under the royal stand, in the left transept of the Turin Cathedral, and brought in the new adjoining sacristy, become inaccessible during all the works. ... In the fire of the night between December 3 and 4, 1532, in the "Sainte Chapelle" of Chambéry, a corner of the Shroud (folded in 48 layers measuring 27 cm to 36) was burnt, provoking symmetrical burns to the longitudinal and cross-sectional lines of folding. ...
•   One of the cloth foldings near the Man of the Shroud's face would have disappeared as a result of these unsewings, but another one would have remained. ...   Giuseppe Ghiberti, the most important collaborator of the cardinal as far as the Shroud is concerned, seems to have been reluctant. Moreover, the whole Commission for the Shroud preservation (where, nevertheless, the same Flury-Lemberg is the only textile expert) does not seem to have been involved, nor, least of all, was Pier Luigi Baima Bollone, predecessor of Barberis and one of the most qualified scientists-sindonologists.   Why has this clamorous "transformation" of the Shroud been carried out?, ask those few who have come to know it. ...

• Proposals For The Shroud of Turin Preservation and Exhibition.
• This general project allows, as much as possible, for all the indications presented in the course of the years to optimize the Shroud preservation. ... Schwalbe and also the conclusions (lately notified) of the International Commission for the preservation that is studying the problem.
• The proposal, that concerns the real structure of the Shroud container, requires deepenings as for the choice of the gas (that will allow the maintenance of climatic and environmental opportune and constant characteristics) and the system of general protection (thief-proof devices, self-extinguishing systems against fire, further bullet-proof and antieffraction coverages, illumination and videotaping systems during the exhibitions). Arguments that lie outside the discussion about the structure itself that must be realized to host the Shroud.
• For instance, the motors for the lifting of the Shroud container, the motors for the rotation of the container, the motors for the displacement of the structure and for the block of the wheels with the automatic lifting of the whole structure, etc. ...
• In fact it is possible to vary the position in height of the Shroud container, as well as the position in horizontal or vertical. ...
• In this first image the structure is set on wheels and the Shroud container is in the horizontal position. ...
• This configuration is that one that should be used during the periods in which the Shroud is not being displayed. ...
• In the third image there is a side-view of the structure that should contain the Shroud in which one can note the faucets on the back that allow the entry and the exit of the gas for the checked atmosphere inside the Shroud container. The pipes that were applied are purely indicative, since the apparatus that will produce and check the microclimate inside the Shroud container will be set at a certain distance from the structure itself and therefore the connection pipes will depend on such positioning. Moreover the faucets go into the Shroud container that, therefore, is directly interested by the entry and the exit of the gas for the checked atmosphere. ... You can also note a fourth spirit level set between the two faucets that is useful to control the perfectly horizontal positioning of the Shroud container when, during the exhibitions, the two side arms of the structure could be lengthened and the container set vertically. ...
• In this fourth image, the Shroud container is rotated to pass from the horizontal position (preservation state) to the vertical position (exhibition state). In the scale model, the ferrule of rotation is graduated every 45° with a ball-mechanism to allow a safe vertical positioning of the Shroud container. In the life-size model this mechanism too must be automatically regulated by means of a telecontrol to prevent abrupt displacements of the Shroud.

• Grants from Massachusetts Historic Commission and Save Americas Treasures has enabled this face lift. I’ve peaked under the shroud and she’s gorgeous! .

• That in turn would put the validity of the Shroud of Turin into question. ...
• They claim that the Christ Image on the Shroud of Turin is the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, who was tortured some months before his execution in 1307. The image on the shroud certainly does fit the description of De Molay. ...
• Even though attempts have been made to make the Shroud a Holy relic, it needs to be said that Carbon dating concludes that the shroud was made sometime in the 14th or Century (1300’s) coincidentally the same time as the crucifixion of De Molay in 1307. While he was near death, De Molays body was laid out and covered with a burial shroud. ...
• Another interesting coincidence is that the carbon dating information about the Shroud was made public on Friday, October the 13th, 1989.
• The condition of the body in the shroud conflicts with scripture accounts in the book of John, which states that the body was washed and anointed and then wrapped in linen. The Shroud shows that the corpse bled in several key areas that are similar to that of the Christ.
• There was also a napkin that was above his head, which is not seen in the image of the Shroud. ...
• As far as I tell there are no linen strips binding the hands of the man in the shroud.
• Which may indicate that the body under the shroud was not dead.
• Another Friday and 13 coincidence, when dealing with the Shroud, Easter, and Jesus is the scientific analysis as to whether or not the Shroud is the true burial cloth of Christ.
• We have already determined that Carbon dating says that the shroud was made in the 1300’s. Direct examination of the Shroud by scientific means began in 1969-73 with the appointment of an 11-member Turin Commission (1976) to advise on the preservation of the relic and on specific testing which might be undertaken. ... A much more detailed examination of the Shroud was carried out by a group of American scientists in 1978-81 as the Shroud of Turin Research Project.
• Coincidentally one of the Scientists whose surname was Frei (which of course is a cognate of Free which has other cognate associations like Frig, Frigga, Frigge, Frige, Frie, Friehe, Freye, Friemann, Freitag which is German for Friday) collected pollen from the shroud and determined that some of the pollen could be from 13 species of halophyte and desert plants that can be found in the Negev and Dead Sea area. ...

•   The first known owner of the Shroud in France in the 1350s was Geoffrey de Charney, who died in 1356; the name of Jacques de Molay’s fellow martyr was Geoffroi de Chamey. If the Shroud had been brought to France from Constantinople by the Knights Templar, who had so recently been suppressed on charges of heresy, it is understandable why the de Chameys were reluctant to declare its origins. In The Shroud and the Grail, Noel Currer-Briggs, founder member of the Association of Genealogists and Record Agents and a Fellow of the Society of Genealogists, produces proof that Geoffrey de Charney was the nephew of Jacques de Molay’s companion in death, Geoffroi de Charney, Templar Master of Normandy. ...

Geoffrey II de Chamey and Marguerite’s second husband, Humbert de Villersexel, had both been created knights of the Order of the Collar of Savoy by earlier dukes 2 Marguerite de Chamey had found a noble and trusted family to ensure the preservation of this remarkable relic, as the House of Savoy were Rex Deus. ...
• By the 15th century, Church authorities had begun to refer to the relic as Jesus’ ‘burial shroud’. ... His treatise on The Blood of Christ, published in 1468, was the first time that the Shroud was recognized as genuine by the papacy and the relic was even given its own feast day, 4 May. ...

• As regards the Synodal Theological Commission of the Russian Orthodox church, it is a permanent working consultative and analytical body of the Holy Synod, formed by decision of the Holy Synod of 28 December 1993. In its activity the commission is subordinate to His Holiness the patriarch and the Holy Synod. ... In the years it has existed the commission has studied most diverse questions submitted for its review by the supreme church authority. The chairman of the commission, His Blessedness Filaret, Metropolitan of Minsk and Slutsk, patriarchal exarch of all Belarus, regularly gave account  for the work of the commission at sessions of the Holy Synod and the bishops' councils of the Russian Orthodox church in 1994, 1997, and 2000.   The activity of the commission always has been highly valued by the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox church. All this information, as well as the composition of the commission, can be found on the official sites of the Moscow patriarchate as well as on other Orthodox sites on the net. As regards Fr Georgi Kochetkov, his question has been by no means the only topic for the commission's study. It was submitted by the patriarch to SBK at the end of 2000 with a directive to review the conclusion prepared by the so-called "Moscow" commission chaired by Archpriest Sergei Pravdoliubov, which was created by decision of the patriarch in the middle of last year for studying the doctrinal studies of Fr Georgi Kochetkov. ...

• In the past the Royal Commission had a clearly defined role in survey and research relating to ancient monuments and historic buildings, a role which had a much respected output in the publication of the County Inventories. The staff of the Commission were, at that time, the pre-eminent practitioners of survey and architectural recording and many were noted scholars in their own right. Within the Commission the National Monuments Record (NMR) established for itself an important role as a central repository of information on the historic environment of the whole of Wales, and as an important curator of physical records relating to this field. ...
• However, during the 1970s, it became clear that the survey policies and outputs of the Royal Commission were failing to address the more urgent needs of conservation and rescue archaeology. ...

• It has long been surmised that the widow of Geoffrey de Vergy, originally from the noble Franche-Comté family, deposited the Shroud in the Church of Lirey, after it had first been in the possession of the Cathedral of Besançon from whence it had disappeared during a fire in 1349. ...
