The world will have an extraordinary opportunity to look upon an undistorted, never-before-seen, moving 3-D portrait of a man who many think is the crucified Jesus Christ.
In just one week, graphic experts will bring to life an imprint on the holy relic known as the Shroud of Turin, believed by millions to be the burial shroud of Christ.
The Shroud of Turin bears the full-body, back-and-front image of a crucified man that is said to closely resemble the New Testament description of the passion and death of Christ. The 14-foot cloth long has posed mysteries because of its age and its negative image of a bloodstained and battered man who had been crucified. Believers claim it to be the miraculous image of Jesus, formed as he rose from the dead.
The History Channel will air "The Real Face of Jesus?," a special two-hour event that premieres March 30 at 9 p.m. EST. It aims to bring the world as close as it has ever come to seeing what Jesus may have actually looked like.

Hi! You have been so knowlegable in the past, I thought I would turn to you for a little more help. My son (12 yrs old) was just assigned a writing project and because I am so interested in the shroud, he chose the Shroud as his topic to do an “informative” paper on (I know he wants to know more about it and wants to pass on the information to his classmates). I was hoping you could recommend a book that may be age appropriate. He is using Barrie Schwortz’s web site as his on-line source, but he needs a book source that is not “over his head”. Is there a book that would be good for someone his age?
Check your FReepmail......God bless.
