• "PROVIDENTIAL COINCIDENCE" OF HOLY SHROUD EXPOSITION .
• - Today, during his traditional meeting with pilgrims, John Paul II referred to the Exposition of the Shroud of Turin, which opened yesterday in Turin and the imminent opening of World Youth Day. ... John Paul II described the opening of the Turin Exposition of the Shroud, as "a providential coincidence" with the celebration of the World Youth Day, underlining the "Intimate relation that links the message of the Holy Shroud to the Jubilee Year. " Consequently, he thanked Turin's Archbishop Severino Poletto and his collaborators for moving the dates of the Exposition forward to give young believers "The possibility to venerate this unique testimony of Christ. " The Holy Father then shared his personal feelings of "intense emotion," which he felt when he visited the Holy Shroud as Pontiff on three different occasions. The first in 1978, a few weeks after having been elected Peter's successor; the second, in 1980; and the third, in 1998, after the terrible fire that almost destroyed the Shroud. ... Each time was a profound experience of grace! The infinite love of God speaks to the heart of every person in the Man of the Shroud. " The Pope went on the explain that the opening of the Exposition of the relic is like an introduction to the World Youth Day, and reminded his listeners of the important events of this celebration: the evening of August 15, and the closing from August 19-20, in the impressive Tor Vergata field on the outskirts of Rome. ...

• Official Opening of Longest Exposition of Christ's Shroud TURIN, AUGUST 13 (ZENIT. ... Turin's Cathedral was totally crowded this morning for the solemn Mass, concelebrated by Archbishop Severino Poletto and all the Piedmont bishops, to inaugurate officially the opening of the longest exposition in history of the Shroud of Turin. The Archbishop yesterday showed the Shroud, in which according to tradition Jesus' body was wrapped for burial, to 11,000 youths who were in Turin on their way to Rome for World Youth Day. ... "With profound emotion I unite myself in faith and joy with the Turin ecclesial community, which again offers pilgrims and visitors the opportunity to contemplate the sacred cloth. " "It is difficult to be indifferent before the Holy Shroud. ... The Shroud will be on exposition for 71 days, until October 22. This is also the first time that the Shroud has benefited from the multimedia era: Turin's Archbishop has published a CD-Rom explaining its history, and within a few days the web-cam located in the Cathedral's interior will broadcast the constant flow of pilgrims on Internet. ... Yesterday, during a meeting with reporters, Archbishop Poletto said he still hopes this exposition of the Holy Shroud will be the cause of a great "miracle": a meeting in Turin between Patriarch Alexei II of the Russian Orthodox Church, who has a special devotion to the relic, and John Paul II. ... It is certain that Metropolitan Kirill, number two of the Patriarchate, will come to Turin. ... If Alexei II came, the Pope would immediately fly to Turin," the Archbishop said. The Holy Year's Exposition of the Holy Shroud is even better than the one organized two years ago.

• I am in Torino or Turin in the northwest Piedmont region of Italy. ... For Turin's hoary history from the Roman and Mediaeval eras is reflected in its palaces, cathedrals and its ancient cobbled squares and streets. ...
• Fame has escaped Turin twice over. ...
• For all this, Turin has not lost its charm; its baroque splendour was laid bare by my very passionate guide Stefania, courtesy the local tourist department whose talkativeness was matched by her knowledge of the city and its environs. Walking the streets with her, listening to her lilting Italian cadence, with vowels extending every consonant, and an h pronounced before every vowel, it is an eerie, out of body feeling of going back in time where architects with exotic Italian names like Guarino Guarini, Fillipo Juvarra and Ascanio Vitozzi, let their imaginations run riot to produce magnificent symmetry in Turin's lasting Renaissance monuments.
• We visit the Royal Palace, home of the Savoys with the baroque San Lorenzo Church and the Duomo of Turin where its most famous legacy, the Holy Shroud in which Christ was covered after his crucifixion, it is believed, is housed. Turin's streets are all laid out in straight lines and rectangles, a throwback to Roman times.
• Turin has a fascination for preservation, being home to 42 museums, including a very novel one on the antecedents of cinema and the moving image.
• The other attractions of Turin are the Stupinigi Hunting residence of the Savoy royalty, in the south of the city. ... I drive all over Turin in a new Fiat Stilo, surely the best way to see any city.
• We stroll one early morning through the Valentino Park with its half a million square meters of gardens, a French castle built to appease the longings for home of a French princess and a facsimile village built for an exposition in 1884 and reassembled at its present site to provide a feel of rural life during medieval times.

• Figure 16: positive photograph of the Holy Shroud laid out on a table especially designed by the American scientists for the tests done in October 1978. This is how fifty generations of Christians saw the image of the Holy Shroud from the Apostles down to our times, when the invention of photography suddenly revealed its unsuspected beauty (below, figure 17), as the process passed from negative to positive. ...
• The following year, the Crusaders ransacked the city and "nul ne seut on onques, ne Griu, ne Franchois, que li sydoines devint quand la vile fu prise" (no one ever knew, neither Greek nor French, what became of the Shroud when the city was taken) (The Conquest of Constantinople, 42).
• Two years before, Nicolas Mésaritès, guardian of the relics kept at Saint Mary of the Pharos, the "sainte-chapelle" of the imperial palace, recalled the mysteries of Christ’s life perpetuated by the presence of the relics in that place: "Here He rises again, as shown by the Shroud and the cloths . ...
• The Holy Shroud now kept in Turin, a herring bone weave "linen" cloth, is this same Relic, marked with the imprints of the "naked, ineffable Dead", Jesus Christ Our Lord, shrouded in this cloth after having been "perfumed". ...
• The explanation is quite simple: at the moment of entombment, the Body of Jesus was laid on its back over half the length of the Shroud, which was then pulled down over the head and over the front of the Body down to the feet.
• The Blood which flows from the wounds in the hands, the feet and the side, trickling into the small of the back, forming droplets on the forehead and the nape of the neck is indeed, in visible light, the colour of "dried blood", as Barbet had observed in 1933 when the Holy Shroud appeared on the steps of the Duomo; a "crimson" colour noticed by Brooks in September 1978.
• Figure 17: the photographic negative of the Holy Shroud reveals the most beautiful portrait of Christ that ever was, because it the direct reproduction of His features, His. ...
• Turin, May 1898. On the fringes of an exhibition of sacred art, the Holy Shroud was displayed above the high altar of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. ...
• He continues: "But besides pious thoughts, I soon developed a scientific preoccupation (you will forgive a science teacher for such a thing) concerning the authenticity of the famous shroud. That is why I meticulously examined every slightest detail of this double imprint of Our Lord’s Body, which stood out sufficiently from this cloth, despite the effect of time, together with the numerous scorch marks left on the Shroud after a fire and stains resulting from tests applied in the Middle Ages, and which no painting could have withstood. ...
• A surprising question, which inspired Don Noguier, "from the very first day of the solemn exposition, with the idea of having the Holy Shroud photographed". ... Looking through a pain of powerful binoculars, he noticed that "the body reliefs were of a darker shade, whereas the deep set or receding parts were of a lighter shade; it did not take me long to compare the image of the Shroud to some kind of negative photograph. ...
• Using a volunteer who had allowed himself to be draped as the Holy Shroud was draped, Jackson and Jumper studied experimentally the relationship between the body-cloth distance, on the one hand, and the intensity of the image, on the other. ...
• Thereafter, the facts are there, excluding the idea of a false shroud of Christ having been fabricated in the Middle Ages. ... All anybody had seen were these mysterious brown stains on the linen cloth (above, figure 17), but only positively, and without the benefit of photography, stains which, taken as a whole, define an enigmatic and disturbing silhouette of a supine human, wounded moreover, killed and wrapped bleeding in this shroud.

• Display of Shroud scheduled.
• At a May 22 press conference in Rome, Archbishop Severino Poletto outlined plans for the next public showing of the Shroud of Turin, which will take place from August 19 to October 22 of this year.
• Archbishop Poletto remarked that the display of the Shroud might even furnish an occasion for new advances in relations between Rome and the Russian Orthodox Church. ... Archbishop Poletto said that he had issued an invitation for the Russian Orthodox leader to visit Turin and venerate the Shroud.
• The Turin archbishop said that because “the cult of holy images” is particularly important to the Orthodox world, the invitation to view the Shroud might spur ecumenical progress. ... Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kalingrad will head an Orthodox delegation visiting Turin from September 23- 25. ...
• Pope John Paul II also has received a formal invitation to return to Turin for the exposition of the Shroud. ...
• The display of the Shroud this year was scheduled to begin on August 26. That schedule was adapted, moving the opening date forward into early August, so that the young people traveling to Italy for World Youth Day might have an opportunity to attend the exposition. ...
• Organizers of the display in Turin will follow the same procedure that they employed in 1998, asking visitors to reserve a day and time for viewing the Shroud. Although there will be no charge for the viewing, the organizers explain that these reservations are necessary in order to ease the press of crowds around the Turin cathedral during the display.

• Turin Shroud: In Whose Image?Nicholas Peter Legh Allen (1995).
• In this paper, I repudiate the recently popularised conjecture that the High Renaissance artist and scientist, Leonardo da Vinci conceived and manufactured the Shroud of Turin in Milan in 1492. ...
• On the dust jacket of a recently published book, entitled Turin Shroud: In Whose Image? The shocking truth unveiled, is the sensational declaration: .
• This book answers three questions which have confounded experts through the ages:HOW was the Turin Shroud created?WHO created the Shroud?WHOSE face appears on the Shroud?.
• Through the vehicle of this publication, the co-authors, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, strive to demonstrate, that the present day Shroud of Turin (that well known relic which contains both the frontal and dorsal photo-negative `imprints' of a tortured man and which is still believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ), was in fact forged by none other than Leonardo da Vinci in 1492! .
• Within this context alone, these two co-authors, have the insurmountable task of convincing their readers that the Shroud at Lirey (c 1357-1418) and the Shroud at Turin (1578-1994) are not the same artifact.
• Moreover, in the light of my own research (Allen, 1993a; 1993b; 1994a and 1994b), which has already postulated the theory that the Shroud of Lirey-Chambery-Turin was produced by means of a primitive form of photographic technology well before 1350, I was astounded to discover that these authors also specify photography as the very means by which Leonardo manufactured this relic.
• Perhaps most remarkably of all, they Picknett and Prince have replicated the technique by which the Shroud was created. ...
• For those readers who are not familiar with the terrain, it should perhaps be pointed out that the pedigree of the Shroud of Lirey-Chambery-Turin, or if you prefer, the Sudaria Christi is relatively well documented back to the year 1389, when the then Archbishop of Troyes, Pierre d' Arcis wrote his famous Memorandum to the anti-pope Clement VII, in which he requested that the Shroud's owners (at that time being Jeanne de Vergy and her son Geoffroi II de Charny), be forbidden to hold religious expositions at the Collegiate Church in Lirey. ...
• One of the main reasons for d' Arcis's letter is perfectly clear, viz: the Shroud of Lirey was luring pilgrims and their much sought after money away from the coffers of the Cathedral at Troyes situated some 20 kilometres to the north-west. Notwithstanding, d' Arcis, irrespective of his real motives, employs good old fashioned rhetoric to convince the anti-pope of the Shroud's unworthiness as an object of devotion and informs his sacerdotal reader that the self-same Shroud had been previously condemned as undesirable some `thirty-four years or thereabouts' (Wilson, 1991:15) before his own time (ie. ... Picknett and Prince, in their attempt to give credence to their theory (ie the Shroud was exchanged in 1492), set out to prove that the known pre-1492 descriptions of the Shroud (both textual and visual) do not concur with the appearance of this relic as viewed today. In this regard their `argument' revolves largely around two main pieces of `evidence', viz: The above cited Memorandum of Pierre d' Arcis to Clement VII and a lead pilgrim badge, commemorating an exposition of the Shroud at Lirey in the fourteenth century and which was discovered in the Seine as recently as 1855. ...
• In his Memorandum, Pierre d' Arcis mentions that his predecessor, Henri de Poitiers, discovered that the Shroud (at Lirey), was a forgery and how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth being attested by an artist who had painted it, to wit, that it was a work of human skill, and not miraculously wrought or bestowed (Wilson, 1991:15). ...
• From this translated statement, Picknett and Prince infer that the Shroud (while at Lirey), originally contained a painted two-fold image of Christ, which somehow proves that the present photographic image on the Shroud of Turin must be a later product. ...
• For one, this sole statement by a man (d' Arcis) who might well have never seen the Shroud himself, is not valid evidence that the Shroud of Lirey was a painted cloth in opposition to the negative, pigment-less image we associate with the Shroud of Turin today. After all, if the Shroud was (as I suspect), produced by means of either Byzantine, Venetian or Islamic photographic technology, prior to 1350 (Allen, 1993a and 1993b), then who (living in France in the late fourteenth century), would have had the necessary words to describe what they saw? Should we not, rather, be asking why d' Arcis goes to some trouble to explain why the image is not really as `miraculous' as people at that time supposed it to be? Why employ such terminology if the image was so obviously painted? .

• The Shroud of Turin. ...
• In this article, we attempt to outline some of the more prodigious characteristics of the Shroud of Lirey-Chambйry-Turin's image and highlight the inadequacy of the various image formation theories postulated this century. A review is then given of some of the findings of a recently established body of evidence 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). ... 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. ...
• 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). ...
• ), who started his investigations as a confirmed sceptic, was so impressed with the anatomical accuracy of the Shroud's image that he wrote:.

• SOILED LINEN TURIN. ASC by William Bennetta The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot-long piece of linen that bears two full-length images; one a front view, the other a rear view of a man who seems to have been flogged and crucified. ... The shroud belongs to the House of Savoy but is kept (at Turin, Italy) by functionaries of the Roman Catholic Church. The Church has explicitly encouraged the veneration of the shroud and has palpably, if informally, promoted various beliefs about it. These include the idea that it is the cloth in which the corpse of Jesus was wrapped for burial, as well as the correlative idea that the images and the ostensible bloodstains on the shroud are direct impressions of that corpse. According to one vigorous advocate of those beliefs, the most recent public exposition of the shroud, held at Turin during the summer of 1978, drew some 3. ... On 14 October, 1988 the New York Times reported that the shroud had been discredited by radiocarbon dating: Tests had indicated that the linen was no more than 750 years old. The Times also recounted the tortuous statements by which the archbishop of Turin, in announcing the results of the tests, had tried to obfuscate the Church's promotion of the shroud and had given assurance that the shroud, even if bogus, had "produced miracles. ... When I showed the Times to my brother, Bob, he said that the Corpus Christi church - one of several Catholic churches in Port Chester - had a shrine entirely devoted to the shroud. I suggested that we go over to the church to see how the shroud was being promoted to the faithful. As Joe Nickell relates in Inquest on the Shroud of Turin , the shroud was condemned, very early in its strange history, as a fake.

• You are surely aware that within the Jubilee celebrations of the Turin Diocese, there will be the solemn SHROUD EXPOSITION from August 12 through October 22,2000; the longest one we ever had. The pilgrims who will go to our Cathedral to see the Shroud, would certainly obtain a very useful help by first visiting the Shroud Museum, located in Via San Domenico 28, Turin. The Museum offers visitors not only the opportunity to see unique objects which have characterised the history of the Shroud and the scientific research on it, but, above all, they will get a deeper knowledge of the Shroud itself through a didactic-historical- scientific route, combined with a individual video-tape vision, which has been especially made for this occasion. Being the Museum the starting point for the Jubilee route in Turin, we kindly ask You to display our leaflet in order to  .

• of the Turin Shroud.
• In this paper, we present what we consider to be compelling empirical evidence, made directly from the Shroud itself, that the Shroud of Turin is the same cloth displayed and revered in Byzantium for some centuries before the Crusader pillage of Constantinople in 1204 A. ... As such, this will show that the Shroud pre-dates the radiocarbon date by at least several centuries. ...
• The process leading to this conclusion began 20 years ago during the 1978 scientific examination of the Shroud by STURP when I noticed that the Shroud cloth contained permanent foldline deformations. Realizing that these fold marks contained potentially significant historic information regarding how the Shroud was once folded, I asked Vern Miller, the scientific photographer of STURP, to photographically document them for later analysis. The technique used was to illuminate the Shroud with very low angle illumination so that subtle fold lines and crease marks could be seen by virtue of the shadows they cast over the Shroud surface. ...
• For example, across the middle of the back, we can clearly see a fold line running across the entire width of the Shroud that intersects the patchwork of the 1532 fire. This fold line is very significant, because its eighthwise position from the center axis of symmetry shows that the Shroud was once folded in eighths across its entire width. ...
• If we now move this same distance, one eighth the length of the Shroud to the middle of the dorsal image, we find another well-defined fold line running across the entire width of the Shroud. And then, if we move still another one eighth distance to the ankle region of the dorsal image, we can discern sections of still another unmistakable fold line running across the width of the Shroud. ...
• Instead of seeing a single fold line, we see four equally-spaced fold lines running across the width of the Shroud. As we zoom in to higher levels of magnifications, we can readily see a pattern of four equally spaced foldlines that run across the entire width of the Shroud. These foldlines are sharp, indicating that the Shroud must have been folded for a very long time in a constant configuration in order for these to have been formed. ...
• It is clear, therefore, that the eight-fold pattern has been on the Shroud for at least the past Century. ...
• It is also fortunate that we have an x-ray taken by Bill Mottern and the Late Ron London in 1978 that shows how this fold line intersects the charred Shroud material underneath one of the patches. ...
• Notice how the foldline propagates right up to the charred edges of the Shroud on both sides of the burn hole. We know the cloth at the edges of the burn holes in the Shroud are charred because of the deep black color in Schwortz's 1978 transmitted light photograph of this region as well as the general deep brown coloring of the linen surrounding the patch. ...

• The Shroud of Turin.
• Over the centuries, dozens of shrouds have been put forward as the genuine burial shroud of Christ. The shroud which now has its home in Turin, Italy, came to public attention in the 14th century, a period notorious for relicmongering. ... In conclusion he pronounced, "The man of the shroud was Christ. ...
• The mark of the nail on the shroud is not in the palm, as the painters of the Middle Ages depict it, but appears in the wrist area. ...
• The major reason so much attention has been given the piece of cloth lately is the fact that the tests did not disprove the authenticity of the shroud as most expected they would. ...
• Dating techniques have still not answered the question of how old the material of the shroud is. ... But it should be added that nothing has demonstrated yet that this shroud is even the burial cloth of a man from the first century A. ... Remember that multiple thousands of Jewish men were crucified by the Romans during that period, and even were it proven that it was a shroud from someone who was crucified in the fiat century, it would not prove necessarily that it was Jesus'.
• What terrifies me about this matter is, whether real or not, three million people filed past this simple piece of cloth at its last public exposition. ... Yet it is literally enthroned in the cathedral at Turin and idolized by millions. ...

• According to tradition the Holy Shroud is the burial shroud in which Jesus was wrapped after he was taken down from the cross. This corresponds to the accounts written in the Gospels, which describe how Joseph of Arimathea arranged the body of Jesus in the tomb after wrapping it in a "shroud".
• This tradition matches the historical vicissitudes of the Holy Shroud, although the documentation of the Turin Shroud can only be considered absolutely certain and complete from the mid fourteenth century onwards. ...
• The Holy Shroud has always aroused great interest, but the first photograph of it gave an entirely new direction to all studies on the subject, and to the cult of the Shroud itself. During the exposition of 1898 a Turin lawyer, Secondo Pia, was authorized to photograph the Shroud. ... The imprint on the Shroud therefore behaves like a naturally negative image, with the exception of the bloodstains and the marks of the wounds, as will be explained below.
• In 1931 an Italian professional photographer, Giuseppe Enrie, took a new and more definitive set of photographs which confirmed the extraordinary nature of the imprint on the Shroud. ...

• The traces imprinted on the Shroud are of four basic types:.
• The patches cover the holes made by a drop of molten silver from the Shroud's casket during the fire that broke out in 1532 in the sacresty of the Sainte-Chapelle at Chambéry, where the Shroud was kept at that time. The Shroud was preserved in the casket, folded into forty-eight layers.
• In the central part of the Shroud, between the fire marks, appear the impressions of the back and front of a full-size human figure. ...
• The studies and scientific research that have been carried out on the Shroud for nearly a century have led to the following findings which are considered incontrovertible:.

• THE SHROUD .
• The free end of the linen shroud was gently lifted over the naked body and rolled down to the feet. The shroud was then carefully folded around the body and bound in place. ...
• They straightened out the shroud as the light of dawn streamed into the chamber through the tiny cave entrance. ...
• The body putrefied and decayed to yellow bones, but the dark and the virtually unchanging  temperature and humidity within the cave preserved the shroud and its remarkable image. ...
•  The shepherd took the shroud back to his tent. ...
• Many of the true believers, upon seeing it, were cured of all sorts of illnesses and the shepherd's family agreed that this precious cloth should be shared with all Christians and consented to the display of the Shroud in their tiny church. ...
• Membership of the congregation exploded accordingly and soon became so large that the elders decided that the small chapel should be replaced with a much larger and more suitable structure in which to display the Shroud. ...
•  The congregation tithed and made special offerings so the Chapel of the Shroud would be a spectacular place in which to display the sacred relic. ...
•  Soon, a special group within the congregation was elected to tend, care for, and protect the Shroud from all who might try to steal or damage it. ...
•  These men became know as the Holy Order of Defenders of the Shroud. A cult emerged who gradually shifted their devotion from Christ to the Shroud, and gave, to it, the reverence that formerly had been directed toward Jesus. The church built to house the Shroud became the center of activity of this cult in Jerusalem. ...
•  The surviving members of the Holy Order of Defenders of the Shroud mingled with the other Christians taken captive by the Persians and the Shroud was hidden among the scant possessions that they carried with them to Byzantium. ...
•  It was in this permissive environment that Christianity gradually recovered, gained converts, and eventually flourished but there were obscure periods in the early centuries after Christ's death in which the Shroud disappeared. ... It is not a great mystery that there are inconsistencies in the dates of various events regarding the Shroud. During the periods when it was hidden, no records were kept of its whereabouts so much of the story of the Shroud must be classified as legend. ...

• KVSS also recorded the Lenten series from the Cathedral, invited 5th and 6th grade students from parish schools to write prayers from the heart that were read during the Spring Care-a-thon, and sponsored the Photographic Exhibit of the Holy Shroud of Turin that was viewed by over 40,000 people. ...

• Within a short time, Jeanne had persuaded her husband's church at Lirey to not only display the Shroud, but also to sell commemorative medallions for visitors to purchase. ... Bishop Henry of Poitiers was sent by the Church to destroy the Shroud, because to have the true origins of the Shroud revealed – which Henry suspected he knew – would have shattered the Church's tenuous hold. Henry quickly 'located the man who made the Shroud' and informed the Lirey church to destroy the profane image immediately. ...
