Thank you for including this wonderful article. Jesus was our passover lamb. He is risen. If any of you live in the LA area, please come join us for worship at the Hollywood Bowl which will take place at 11 am. But get there early for parking and seats. You could also meet at Bel Air church anytime from 9 am and they will give you a free shuttle ride over to there.

Are pieces of “The True Cross” also being exhibited? Is the actual written document setting forth “Constantine’s Donation” finally being shown?

Jesus had a wooden plank attached from his hand to his foot, as he walked to the place he was crucified.

Huh?

The shroud is one of two things. Either the actual burial cloth of Jesus or the greatest work of art of all time.

I’m a believer. I also seem to remember that there is an imprint of Roman coins over the eyes and the coins dated from the correct time and the practice of putting coins on the eyes was consistent with the entombment methods at the time.

On an unrelated / related note — there was an interesting experiment a few years back that said an xray (negative image) could be made with radiation and scotch tape, especially with radiation shot in a vacuum. I think that those were the same factors at work — a sticky cloth, a sealed tomb, and a risen Lord radiating new life.

The color is from vermillion, a pigment newly available in the 12th Century, and a boom time for creation of religious fakes.

Discovery Channel had a wonderful program this past week about the efforts of a man who works in digital animation to create a 3-D digital image of Christ by using imagery from the Shroud. When the completed image was shown, I teared up. I am pretty sure I saw him do the same at one point.

Several “facts” in this are quite wrong, but.....

He is risen. This is a great day.

“According to the Holy Shroud, he suffered 120 lashes with the call flagrum, which had three strings, and each one had two pieces of sharpened bone, which tore skin. Therefore, every blow would cause six injuries. 120 lashes equals 720 wounds.”

There were two flagrums; two men whipping Him. Each flagrum had three leather thongs, each thong terminating in a "tortillum", a dumbbell-shaped piece of metal. About 120 tortilla marks have been found, indicating ~40 lashes (each lash leaving 3 marks).

The shroud to be on display in Turin from April 10th - May 30th. For other interesting discussion, refer to swordmaker's posts beginning at post #60. He or she runs the Shroud of Turin ping list and is more knowledgeable about the research and scientific findings than anyone I've come across.

I am a convert so please excuse my ignorance on this question, but wasn't there a case when a priest who was taking part in Mass, doubted the fact of transubstantiation.

When he began to drink from the chalis, he found that it had turned into blood.

They have since run tests on that blood and if I recall correctly, it was AB
