The Shroud of Turin Many of the faithful sincerely believe that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Without declaring its authenticity, Pope John Paul II has clearly attested to the value of the Shroud. For instance, in 1980, the Holy Father stated, “The Holy Shroud, the most splendid relic of the passion and the resurrection.” His predecessors have also viewed the Shroud favora-bly. However, to believe that the Shroud is the actual burial cloth of the Lord is not a matter of faith...
The Shroud is made of linen. Linen making has been known for the last nine thousand years with Galilee being an important manufacturing center of the cloth…(C)otton fibers particular to the kind of cotton found in Pales-tine are also present in the linen cloth.
Pollen evidence also places the origins of the Shroud in the Middle East... The Shroud depicts the image of a man, slightly under six feet tall, who suffered the brutal death of crucifix-
ion. The wound marks evidenced by blood stains correspond with the sufferings our Lord endured as described in the Gospel...Interestingly, the nail at the wrist would have penetrated a nerve and caused the thumb to snap into the palm. The thumbs of the man in the Shroud are hidden due to this nailing...
The blood is definitely human blood...with traces of aloes and myrrh and belonging to the group AB. No pigments, paints, dyes, or stains have been found in the fibrils...Also, the image was resistant to bleach-
ing and other standard chemical agents that would have reacted with paint or some other medium. Enhanced photography has also produced exciting evidence...The right eyelid of the man (has) four letters
UCAI which formed a crown around the crook of an augur’s staff. This image corresponds to the symbol on a small coin struck in AD 29 during the procuratorship of Pontius Pilate (AD 26-36). The ancient Jews used coins to hold down the eyelids…
Dr. Gilbert Lavoie in his recent work, Unlocking the Secrets of the Shroud, presented another intriguing dis-covery. The negative image of the Shroud as compared with the negative images of photography reveals that the man in question had either white or light blond hair …(and) the shadows of the face and the fall of the hair indicate that the man was upright and suspended when the image was made, while the blood marks indicate the man was in the supine position on top of the cloth with the rest folded over him. Dr. Lavoie concluded that this upright image was made after the blood had stained the cloth: “This finding is intellectually exciting to anyone who contemplates the possibility that this image reflects the moment of the resurrection” (p. 182). *Taken from www.catholicstraightanswers.com
