Reservations will be required to obtain the tickets needed to attend the Shroud exhibition, although admission is free. Reservations can be made online at the Archdiocese of Turin Website at www.sindone.org/FAQ-en.htm. Check their website (available in Italian and English) for the latest information on the exhibition. The Archdiocese stated that there would be an on-site reservation system available to those who were unable make their reservations online, but first priority would be given to disabled visitors and to religious groups. However, in my experience (which includes three previous exhibitions - 1978, 1998, 2000), no one who arrives at the Cathedral in Turin during a Shroud exhibition is ever turned away. Still, if you plan to see the Shroud in 2010, I urge you to make reservations for the dates you are in Turin as soon as possible.
I’m not booking the trip until after Steve’s surgery (Good Friday, of all days!), in case something happens to delay it, but thanks for the info.
I would love to go!
I am going to talk to my husband and see what we can do..
Thanks for the info!
