Shroud a 'radiation photo' of resurrection?

I found this article on the “Shroud of Turin” and thought I would share it with everyone.

The “article” is about the book being sold on the page and its the same author for both the “article” and the book. So I’d say its more of an ad than an article.

Whether article or book, I thought the finding were interesting and that other might find it this way to. Maybe not.

I believe the Shroud is supernatural. All these years-and it has been protected through the ages by His Church (His nuns).

The Image has been studied, and how it is actually on the fibers is fascinating. It’s not a painting…and the exclusive pollen from the area-when it was bleached by wetting, stretching and drying along a river…so many facts!

Also-ever wonder why there are not several shrouds with images on them floating around?

Why just 1? And, those wounds!

God Bless.

not really. Human death does not normally yield an image, or anything but nasty smelly body-decay products. Which argues that, if the sot is really a shroud, it was wrapped around someone miraculous.

Thanks for the website.

I’ve read other papers from scientists who theorized that the body emitted light rays which penetrated into the cloth.

Sacred Scripture often refers to the saving power of light.

“Let there be light,” and there was light."
“Light of the World”

John talks of Jesus at Light in John 3:19-21

"And this is the verdict, that the Light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the Light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

John 12:35

"So the crowd answered him,

“We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

Jesus said to them, “The Light will be among you only a little while. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness may not overcome you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where he is going. While you have the Light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of the Light.”

After he had said this, Jesus left and hid from them."

A great light led the Magi to Jesus & the holy family
Moses encounter with God made his face shine with a great light
At the Transfiguration there was a great light
At Jesus’ baptism there was a great ray of light

World Net Daily has a reputation as an Infomercial site. It tends not to print an “article” but that it includes a link to its bookstore selling the book that supposedly supports whatever the article says. Maybe a good business practice, but not a good journalism practice. Catholics need use extreme caution when evaluating the articles on that site, in particular those that discuss religious matters.

Here is an article from CNA (Catholic News Agency) which might be more valid:

Shroud of Turin supports Resurrection, expert affirms

LESSON EIGHTH: On Our Lord’s Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension
Rome, Italy, May 7, 2010 / 03:57 pm (CNA/Europa Press).- Professor Paolo Di Lazzaro, who is head of a group of researchers from the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Development in Italy, noted this week that the latest discoveries on the Shroud of Turin “are not in contradiction with the theory of the Resurrection” of Christ.

In an interview with Europa Press, Di Lazzaro explained the results of their study, which lasted four years and focused on how the image came to appear on the cloth. According to tradition, the shroud was used to wrap the body of Jesus after the crucifixion.

Di Lazzaro said that scientists have not been able to reproduce an image, similar to the one on the shroud, with any kind of contact technique. While from far away, differences in the replications may appear unnoticeable, under a microscope they appear drastically different, he added.

The peculiarity of the original image lies in the “depth of coloration,” which on Shroud does not go beyond the first layer of strands in the fabric, Di Lazzaro said. Upon observation, his team came to the conclusion that “the image on the Shroud is similar to those some textile manufactures create through the use of laser.”

After years of experimentation, for the first time the team was able to color the outermost strands of a fabric similarly to how the image is present on the Shroud by using “extremely brief but intense ultraviolet light impulses emitted by a special laser.”

Even so, the researchers were only able to reproduce a small portion of the Shroud, as “in order to color the entire image you would need 14,000 lasers, something which for now is impossible,” he said.

Nevertheless, Di Lazzaro said the discovery at least points to a possible physical mechanism that may have resulted in the creation of the image. This mechanism “does not contradict the religious theory of the miracle or the resurrection,” he said, as it could have been the cause of the release of energy that created the image, although “this is an area outside our competence as scientists.”

Recently, Di Lazzaro organized a seminar in Frascati, Italy, during which 48 experts from around the world gathered together to discuss images called Acheiropoietos, that is, “not made by hands.” They also examined the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Manopello Veil, which, according to tradition, is the veil used by Veronica to wipe the face of Jesus.

Might be? Even gossip from CNA would be far more valid that any “facts” one might get from that other site. I noticed that in their solicitation of comments on the Shroud, there was a great deal of anti-Catholic statements posted, from direct attacks on the Church to remarks that the Shroud couldn’t be valid because it’s not mentioned in the Bible!!
