There is HUGE significance to all of this. Of course among those of us who already believe, this changes nothing. What this does do is bridge the gap that often exists between history and theology and yes even science.
Most of the ancient religions such as the ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian religions were based upon myths, supersticians, and a multitude of gods.
Judaism was the first religion to arise based on the belief in one God and historical events. Many atheists and agnostics dismiss the Bible as basically a collection of fairy tales and myths.
The correct dating of the Shroud of Turin, along with the crucifixtion wounds on it which conform exactly and precisely to Gospel accounts, along with other recent developments such as the sightings of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat along with other archaelogical discoveries prove conclusively to me that Christianity and Judaism are historical faiths based upon real people and real events which factually occurred. This, IMHO, is the significance of the story above. IT HAPPENED!!!!!!
Happy Easter to all!!!!
I agree.
Happy Easter. He is risen.
