• Holy Shroud Investigations.

• Turin, 18 April - 14 June 1998.
• The Wounds of the PassionThe man on the Shroud was crucified in the same way as Jesus, and details of the wounds which appear on the Shroud correspond to those in the Gospels, namely: the nail wounds in the hands and feet, the injuries around the head from the "crown of thorns", the whip marks, the injury to the chest, and the absence of fractures to the leg bones. The Greek Gospels refer to the Shroud as "Sindon", (in Italian, "Sindone") meaning piece of cloth, or funeral shroud. The Shroud is an image. ... The wounds of the Passion of Jesus are the reason for so much interest in the shroud, and explain its veneration since ancient times. The public exposition is first and foremost a religious event, to be experienced in an ambience of meditation and prayer.
• The Shroud is a linen sheet, 4. ...
• The Shroud's HistoryThe Shroud arrived in Turin in 1578 from Chambéry, then the capital of the Duchy of Savoy, and it has been kept in Turin Cathedral ever since. Reliable historical documents record the Shroud's movements, without interruption, from the mid-fourteenth century. It is known that in 1350s the Shroud was in Lirey, France, and perhaps previously it was in the East, initially in Edessa and later in Constantinople, before being brought to Europe during the Crusades. ... Umberto II left the Shroud to the Pope in his will, and in 1983 it became the property of the Holy See. The Holy Shroud has been publicly displayed over the last four centuries, most recently in 1978, to celebrate the four-hundredth anniversary of its arrival in Turin. ...
• ScienceThe Shroud began to "surprise" a century ago when it was photographed for the first time by Secondo Pia, in 1898. The negative of that photograph revealed in detail, and with even greater clarity than the positive image, all the "wounds" that the Shroud preserved. How was the image on the Shroud formed? Science has not yet come up with any plausible explanations. ... ¨ Pollens have been found on the cloth, strongly supporting the view that the Shroud spent time not only in Europe but also in the Near East. ¨ Tests on traces of blood from the Shroud have revealed the presence of human blood from blood group AB. ¨ In 1988, carbon-14 dating was carried out on a fragment of the Shroud. ...

• On April 19, 1998, the Shroud of Turin went on public display for the first time in 20 years. ...

On April 11, 1997, almost exactly one year before the exhibit's opening, the Shroud emerged unscathed from a fire that gutted the cathedral. Extensive repairs on the cathedral were recently completed, and the Shroud returned to its longtime home just four days before going on display.

•   The Shroud of Turin:.
• This exposition also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the first photograph ever taken of the Shroud. The pictures taken by Secondo Pia in 1898 marked a significant landmark in the Shroud's history, because it was these photographic negatives which revealed the rich, compelling details in the cloth's ghostly image more vividly than they had ever been seen before. This technological revelation ushered in the modern era of widespread belief that the Shroud is the actual burial cloth used on Christ's body after the Crucifixion.
• The controversy over the Shroud's authenticity has raged over the past century, and still very little is known about the artifact for certain. ... Marking on the Shroud's image match the description of injuries Christ suffered on the cross, including a crown of thorns and a wound in the side. ...
• Those tests concluded that the cloth's age could be dated back to between 1260 and 1390, which led to a new consensus among experts that the Shroud of Turin was a medieval hoax.
• Believers in the Shroud have long disputed the findings of these tests. ... Others have suggested that the cloth sample used in the tests was taken from a corner of the Shroud that has been repaired many times over the years, and thus was not representative of the original Shroud's age. It has even been postulated that some metaphysical energy discharged from Christ's body during the Resurrection could have transformed the Shroud's composition enough to confound scientific tests.

• Yet despite our modern-day suspicions, there was some excitement just a few years ago when it seemed that the Shroud might be real.

A group of scientists - all well qualified and acceptable to the Vatican though many were not Christians - examined the Shroud and found that it was not a painting. ... At about the same time that this physical examination of the shroud was taking place, historical theories were being floated that suggested that the cloth had made its way to Europe by way of Edessa, an early and possibly Johannine Christian community, in what is now modern day Turkey.

• In 1988, five years later, carbon-14 tests "revealed" that the Shroud was medieval. That news, to all who hoped that the Shroud was real, was devastating. A headline in the New York Times stated: "Test Shows Shroud of Turin to be Fraud. ...

• Many centuries later a piece of linen cloth found by the Penitents in the Sepulcher was identified with the Shroud of Turin. ...

It found its way to Turin in 1578 and has since been stored in an urn at the Chapel of the Holy Shroud of the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista.
• The Shroud was photographed, producing negatives showing slight contours of man’s head and body. ...
• Ten years ago independent studies carried out at Oxford, Tison, and Zurich, using carbon dating, proved that the Shroud had been woven between 1260 and 1390, and not in the first century AD, the time of the Crucifixion.
• Scientists continue in their quest, coming up with a variety hypotheses, trying to find a rational interpretation of the Shroud phenomenon. ... Full structural identity between the head and face on the Shroud of Turin and on one of the oldest surviving icons from the sixth century has been established. ... But why not make a U-turn in this assumption? Supposing the Sinai portrayal was the prototype of the one discovered on the Shroud?.

•  Scientific and Historical Research: The Shroud of Turin.
• Scientific and Historical Research: The Shroud of Turin  Dating the manufacture of the Shroud of Turin:.
• This paper refutes the recent spate of attempts to invalidate the 1988 carbon dating results which had indicated with a 95% certainty, that the Shroud of Lirey - Chambéry - Turin was manufactured from flax plants that grew sometime between 1260 and 1390 CE. An attempt will be made to show how the iconography employed in the image of a tortured and crucified man as found on the Shroud of Turin corroborate the carbon dating results quite precisely, thereby confirming that this artefact is in fact mediaeval and not a divine product of the first century CE. NB: Not all images have been loaded into this article yet, but most are already well known to shroud enthusiasts. ...
• Introduction If I wanted to present just one tangible piece of evidence of humankind's remarkable ability to transcend the ordinary and to accomplish the most extraordinary technological feats I would point to the Shroud of Turin (see fig. ... According to this very powerful lobby, the image on the Shroud of Turin is the very evidence of the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, recording as it does the moment when their saviour's body came back to life. ...
• 3) were taken of this extraordinary artifact, which (at the time), inexplicably produced an anatomically accurate, three-dimensional positive image revealing a wealth of visual detail not normally visible when viewing the Shroud at first hand. ... Since none of the many speculative theories proffered up until the late 1980s even came close to adequately explaining the causes of image formation on the Shroud, most supporters of this artifact's claim to being the burial cloth of Jesus Christ felt perfectly confident in believing the image to be of divine authorship and (by implication) to be some two thousand years old. ...
• Other claims have been made, concerning factors that may have affected the dating included such things as the possible existence of bioplasmic material on the Shroud fibres (e. ... Garza-Valdes) as well as the fact that a fire nearly destroyed the Shroud in 1532 However, even if any of these various claims had any merit, no one can yet prove (even with the most circumstantial of evidence) that the Shroud is in fact two thousand years old. ... The iconography of the Shroud of Turin Now, regardless of these unsubstantiated claims, it is possible to corroborate the 1988 carbon dating results by examining the iconography employed in the image found on the Shroud of Turin. The Shroud depicts a highly naturalistic, three-dimensional (albeit negative) image of a naked man who has apparently been tortured and crucified. ... 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' of thorns. In addition to these uncharacteristic, possibly heretical depictions of Christ, the image of the man in the Shroud displays a degree of anatomical/medical knowledge that simply was not available to a medieval natural philosopher let alone a medieval forger of relics.
• It should be realised that the image of the Shroud of Turin appears to be two-fold in nature; there is the naturalistic image of the man's body (both dorsal and frontal views) which contain no overt stylistic features, and there are the marks of the stigmata, which do contain stylistic attributes. ... 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. Detailed: The Shroud's image is highly detailed. Thermally stable: The Shroud's image was not affected by the heat of the 1532 fire. No pigment: It is certain that no pigment was applied to the Shroud and the image is not caused by pigment either. ... Chemically stable: The yellow colouration composing the Shroud image cannot be dissolved, bleached, or changed by standard chemical agents. Water stable: The Shroud was doused with water to extinguish the fire in 1532. ... Slight top-lit quality: The Shroud's image, when viewed in it's positive aspect, reveals that the subject was more illuminated from above than below. ... Coupled to the fact that the only way that it is possible to produce a directionless, naturalistic, negative photographic image is by a photographic process itself implies that the image of the man on the Shroud (sans stigmata) is a photograph. It is not the intention of this paper to go into the specifics of the process employed by the manufacturers of the Shroud, that has already been covered in many other papers and publications by the author.
