There is a new documentary on the Shroud airing today at 4:00 Eastern Time.
  Decoding The Past
  Unraveling the Shroud.
  Tune In:
Saturday, December 24 @ 4pm ET/PT

For centuries the Shroud of Turin has been a touchstone of faith for millions. Many believe it is the primary evidence of the way Jesus Christ died on the cross. But is it real or a clever forgery? Did Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci play a trick on the Roman Catholic Church? We bring you the latest theories and the most current tests, some commissioned especially for the program. Despite centuries of scrutiny from scientists, theologians, and art historians, the linen cloth with the faint image has remained a three-and-a-half by fourteen foot enigma. Like a mirror, for some it has reflected what we know; for others, what we believe.   TVPG  cc

Sounds like more da Vinci crap. I hope not.
