Jesus Christ Crucified, Died and was Buried
AND ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY.
As this is the 1st Week of Easter, my meditations on the Resurrection of
Jesus lead me to look at The Shroud of Turin. With my Catholic
upbringing and education as well as my faith, my heart knows that He is certainly RISEN. I don't need proof that the shroud is authentic to keep my faith. But what a great gift He has given in leaving this wonderful sign of His Glory!

Many scientists have tried to debunk this
miracle, but have not succeeded. As
science develops more and more in technology – the results are showing that IT
IS Christ’s Shroud.
What is the Shroud of Turin??
Here is a definition from wikipedia
The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud (Italian: Sindone di
Torino) is a length of linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to
have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion.

There is
no consensus yet on exactly how the image was created, and it is believed by
some to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth, despite radiocarbon dating
placing its origins in the Medieval period. (they have found that the piece of cloth investigated with the Carbon dating was a weave NOT of the same cloth but added on during a restoration in Medieval times.
The image is much clearer in
black-and-white negative than in its natural sepia color. The negative image
was first observed in 1898, on the reverse photographic plate of amateur
photographer Secondo Pia, who was allowed to photograph it while it was being
exhibited in the Turin Cathedral. The shroud is kept in the royal chapel of the
Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy.

"Four university professors have published an article in
“Injury” magazine revealing that the crucified man that was wrapped in the
Turin Shroud suffered a dislocation of the humerus, the paralysis of one arm
and a violent trauma to the neck and chest.

The person whose figure is imprinted on the Shroud is
believed to have collapsed under the weight of the cross, or the “patibulum” as
it is referred to in the study, the horizontal part of the cross. The Man of
the Shroud the academics explain, fell “forwards” and suffered a “violent”
knock” “while falling to the ground.” “Neck and shoulder muscle paralysis” were
“caused by a heavy object hitting the back between the neck and shoulder and
causing displacement of the head from the side opposite to the shoulder
depression.

At this point it would have been impossible for the cross
bearer to go on holding it and this brings to mind the passage in the Gospel
which describes how the soldiers forced Simon of Cyrene to pick up Jesus’
cross. Not an act of compassion therefore, but of necessity. This explains why
“the right shoulder is lower than the left by 10±5 degrees” and The right eye
is retracted in the orbit” because of the paralysis of the entire arm, the
academics say.
That the man on the Shroud is our Lord, I have little doubt. Science confirms what the saints already knew... "

In March 2010, researchers unveiled a revolutionary radiocarbon dating method that could allow scientists to safely establish accurate ages for precious artifacts like the Shroud of Turin. Unlike traditional carbon dating, the new process does not require samples; instead, the entire object is exposed to an electrically charged gas that gently oxidizes its surface without causing damage. This means that, someday soon, the world may have a more precise estimate of the Shroud of Turin’s real age.
