• Shroud Of Turin Tests Flawed, Say Researchers.
• COLUMBUS - AP Carbon-dating tests that determined the Shroud of Turin isn't old enough to be the burial cloth of Jesus are flawed because some of the tests were done on patches of the original material, two researchers say. ...
• Patches woven into the shroud's fabric were created in the 16th century by a weaving technique that made them impossible to see, said Joseph Marino and M. ...
• The researchers hope their theory — first presented at an international gathering of shroud researchers two years ago — will provoke more research on the shroud. ...
• They say the theory is gaining attention now that Ray Rogers, one of the original scientists to study the shroud, has done his own tests and agrees with their theory. ...
• At least one other shroud researcher says the theory shows some promise. ...
• “I'm really attracted to it,” said Daniel Scavone, a professor emeritus of history at University of Southern Indiana who served on a committee of the international conference. ...
• The shroud is a strip of linen 13 feet long and three feet wide marked by an image of a man, which believers say was left by Jesus' body when he was taken off the cross. ...
• Housed in a Turin, Italy cathedral, the shroud has been shown to the public for limited periods. ...
• Benford said she first learned of the shroud in 1997 and started studying the possibility of patches on a hunch. ...
• Marino, a former Benedictine monk and Catholic priest who's studied the shroud since 1977, and they began to research the idea together. ...

• The Shroud of Turin.
• The mysterious Shroud of Turin has now become world famous. ...
• The shroud has been kept in the cathedral in Turin, Italy since 1578. Its history cannot be traced with certainty farther back than 1357, when it was discovered in Lirey, France.
• Could the Shroud of Turin really be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ? Should the cloth be held as a sacred object, as so many millions of people do?.
• " John 19:40 is much more specific, describing strips of linen cloth (not a single sheet, as is the Shroud of Turin), "in accordance with Jewish burial customs. ...
• These verses state clearly that there were strips of linen used, along with a burial cloth that had only been around Jesus' head - not the full length of His body as would be the case in the Shroud of Turin.
• " Would Paul have made such a statement if the long-haired man in the shroud were Jesus Christ?.
• Using samples provided, scientists, using carbon dating techniques, have dated the shroud to between 1260 and 1390. Their test results say that the Shroud of Turin is only about 600 years old, not the nearly 2,000 years old that it would have to be if it were the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
• The first carbon-dating tests were emotionally attacked by those who had placed their faith in it, but further testing has had the same results - the shroud originated only about 6 centuries ago. Those results caused the Cardinal of Turin, Anastasio Alberto Ballestrero, to declare that the shroud was not the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. ...
• There is much that remains unexplained about the Shroud of Turin, including the question of how the image was made on the cloth. It certainly is a valuable old artifact, however there is now very little evidence to support the belief that it originated at the time of Jesus Christ, or that it was His burial shroud.

• From behind the shadow of the holy Inquisition, history tells us of Nicolaus Copernicus (silenced, then vilified after his death in 1543), Giordano Bruno (imprisoned for six years, burned alive), and Galileo Galilei, around whom this war of ideas came to be concentrated (imprisoned, tormented and forced to recant at the age of seventy). ... An impartial reading of history illustrates again and again that religion has waged war upon science and persecuted its practitioners.
• As I read of the Pope viewing the Shroud of Turin on Sunday, May 24, that lengthy, hostile relationship came to mind. ...
• But in his book, Inquest On The Shroud Of Turin, Joe Nickell, Ph. ... , examines the history of the shroud, and the results of the testing that has already been performed. The single cloth, one of forty shrouds asserted over time to have been used as Jesus' burial shroud, is of a weave not known to exist at that time, and does not fit the description from the Bible (John 20:5-7) of multiple cloths with a separate one covering the face. Also, prior to the middle of the 14th century, there is no historical record of this particular shroud; at that time, evidence of fraud was uncovered by a bishop in France, and an artist's confession was obtained, eventually leading to a report to Pope Clement VII, who officially declared the shroud to be a painted "representation" in 1389.
• It should also be noted that the hair of the image on the shroud appears as it would if its subject was standing, rather than lying down, and there are no wraparound distortions of the image as there would likely be if it had encompassed a body. ...
• Finally, the Shroud of Turin has been subjected to numerous other scientific tests, including Carbon-14 dating by three laboratories in 1988, resulting in close agreement of a period circa 1260-1390 C. ... Scientific investigation deems it likely that the shroud is the work of a medieval artist. ...
• While the church teaches that unchallenged, unquestioned faith must guide the believer (and history certainly proves theists are willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure that goal), science is the pursuit of knowledge through supposition, experimentation and substantiation, no matter where the conclusions may lead.

• March 2003 -- A new discovery on the Shroud of Turin by Alan and Mary Whanger, major researchers on the Shroud since 1979, shows the image of a second Crown of Thorns, one of the most famous objects in history. ...
• In 1987 they identified the image of a large bonnet-style Crown of Thorns over the right shoulder of the Man of the Shroud. ...
• These discoveries help to authenticate the Shroud of Turin as well as to provide important historical and archaeological evidence. ...
• In all of history, there is no mention of a crown of thorns in connection with any individual other than Jesus. ...
• A major factor in the discovery of each of the Crowns was the identification of the images of thorns and thistles among the large number of floral and other non-body images that are found on the Shroud. These have been the focus of much of the Whangers' image analysis research using many very high-grade somewhat enhanced photographs of the Shroud. They have shown that the images on the Shroud are complex radiation images, mostly resembling electrostatic or corona images which are faint, partial and fragmented. ...
• Also, many have been confirmed by the identification of their pollen grains on sticky tapes taken from the Shroud in 1973 and 1978 by Dr. ...
• Examination of the bloodstains on the Shroud shows about 40 puncture wounds extending from the mid-forehead to the low back of the neck. ...
• Thus the Shroud gives evidence that Jesus was doubly mocked as both King and High Priest during the Crucifixion. ...
• The findings of the images of the thorns and thistles, which are common in Jerusalem, and of the objects in the shapes of two Crowns of Thorns made by some type of radiation process about 30 hours after the death of the scourged and crucified Jewish man shown front and back all help to authenticate the Shroud and its image as indeed that of Jesus of Nazareth at the pivotal moment in human history. ...   Council for Study of the Shroud of Turin, Durham, NC USA contact   For more information visit: www. ...

• Historical study of the Shroud.
• HISTORY                                                         .
• In the history of the Shroud there is a pivotal date, 1357, the year when the Shroud is first mentioned, at Lirey, in the Champagne region of France. Since that date the history of the Shroud has been continuously known, and can be summed up as follows.
• From 1454 to 1578, it was on display successively in Saint Hippolyte-sur-Doubs, Liège, Germolles, Vercelli, Chambery, Bourg-en-Bresse, Chambery, Turin, Milan, Vercelli, and Chambery. ...
• Since 1578, it has been kept at Turin in Italy. ...
• So, since 1357, the continuous history of the Shroud is known with certainty, but what about before 1357 ? .
• Does this mean that the history of the Shroud is totally unknown before 1357? No, not quite : for conserved in the National Library of Budapest is an illuminated manuscript book known as the Codex Pray. ... A number of experts believe that the shroud shown in a painting in this book is the Holy Shroud which is at Turin today. It shows the anointing of the body of Christ as he was being wrapped in the Shroud, and, it shows the discovery of the empty Shroud by Mary Magdalene on Easter morning after the Crucifixion. On this shroud, in 1986, Doctor Yves Cartigny  as seen clearly  the inverted L which are marks of the fire that had damaged the "Turin" Shroud at some unknown date prior to 1357. If these experts are correct, then this would confirm that the "Turin" Shroud is earlier than 1195, and so too was the fire that damaged it. ...
• The four round marks aligned in an L-shape on the front part of the Shroud in the miniature painting have no reason to be there as a representation of the fabric. They probably represent real marks on the Shroud, and are identical to the marks on the front sector of the Shroud at Turin. ...
• These marks, which can be found on the back face of the Shroud, and also on the Shroud shown in the Codex Pray, are apparently the same. ...
•                     Several theories exist, about the history of the Shroud before 1357. The most intriguing is that the Shroud is identical to the Mandylion. ...

• The towel sized linen Sudarium and the Shroud of Turin, according to forensic science, had been used to cover the same injured head at closely different times. ...
• Shroud of Turin.
• SHROUD STORY HOME PAGE.
• Guscin's report detailed recent findings of the history, forensic pathology, blood chemistry, and stain patterns on the Sudarium. His conclusion: the towel sized linen Sudarium and the Shroud of Turin had been used to cover the same injured head at closely different times. Furthermore, the Sudarium has a definitive history in Spain going back to the seventh century and it seems highly probable, from historical documents, that the Sudarium's record goes back to first century Jerusalem. ...
• The Sudarium's history is very different than the Shroud's. ...
• The Sudarium contains pollen grains of Gundelia tournefortii, identical to that found of the Shroud that grows only east of the Mediterranean Sea as far north as Lebanon and as far south as Jerusalem.
• The blood (stain symmetry, type and other indicators) on the Sudarium matches the blood on the Shroud. ...
• In summary, Guscin wrote: There are many points of coincidence between all these points and the Shroud of Turin - the blood group, the way the corpse was tortured and died, and the macroscopic overlay of the stains on each cloth. This is especially notable in that the blood on the Sudarium, shed in life as opposed to postmortem, corresponds exactly in blood group, blood type and surface area to those stains on the Shroud on the nape of the neck. If it is clear that the two cloths must have covered the same corpse, and this conclusion is inevitable from all the studies carried out up to date, and if the history of the Sudarium can be trustworthily extended back beyond the fourteenth century, which is often referred to as the Shroud's first documented historical appearance, then this would take the Shroud back to at least the earliest dates of the Sudarium's known history. The ark of relics and the Sudarium have without any doubt at all been in Spain since the beginning of the seventh century, and the history recorded in various manuscripts from various times and geographical areas take it all the way back to Jerusalem in the first century. The importance of this for Shroud history cannot be overstressed. ...

• "The Dean of a certain collegiate church, falsely and deceitfully, being consumed with the passion of avarice, and not from any motive of deviation but only of gain, procured for this church a certain cloth cunningly painted, upon which by a clever sleight of hand was depicted the twofold image of one man, that is to say, the back and front, he falsely declaring and pretending that this was the actual shroud in which our Savior Jesus Christ was enfolded in the tomb. ... And further to attract the multitude so that money might be cunningly be wrung from them, pretended miracles were worked, certain men being hired to represent themselves as healed at the moment of the exhibition of the shroud, which all believed to be the shroud of our Lord".

• Turin cathedral and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud.
• Since the Middle Ages the Holy Shroud has been in the royal treasury of the Savoy family. The need to build a Chapel for the preservation of the Holy Shroud comes out in the last few decades of the 16th century. Only in 1611 the Savoy family decide (after having brought the Shroud to Turin) not to bring the linen sheet back to the Saint Chapel of the Castle of Chambéry, where it was kept from 1453, but to keep it permanently in Turin in an appropriate place.
• Only Guarino Guarini (who came to Turin in 1666 and was immediately named "Court engineer" by Carlo Emanuele II) succeeds in finding a solution that allows to face two different problems at the same time:to build a very tall dome and a light one that could be erected over the existing masonry. ...
• Guarino Guarini was involved, during his 20 years of life in Turin, in almost every major building yards, among which Palazzo Carignano (birthpalce of Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy, and the first seat of the Parliament of Piedmont and Italy), San Lorenzo and San Filippo Church.

• The scientific conclusion, which it must be emphasized is by no means unanimous, is that the shroud is indeed a forgery, painted in tempera. The technique has been reproduced by several modern artists who claim to have created shroud-like "negatives" using only the materials available to the forgers of the 14th century. Most conclusive of all is a carbon dating test which the church announced placed its earliest possible date at 1,000 AD and most probable date between 1260 and 1390, the very time period in which the shroud emerged into human view. One of the latest arguments for the shroud's authenticity used pollen analysis, but its techniques and findings were rebutted by experts in evidence. ...
