Shroud Of Turin, Jesus’ Proposed Burial Cloth, Is Authentic, Italian Study Suggests

DatingTheShroud.com

A series of experiments conducted by Italian researchers indicate the Shroud of Turin is likely authentic, but the team has not yet reached a definite conclusion.

Decades of research on Jesus’ proposed burial cloth have revealed an array of conflicting ideas surrounding the shroud’s authenticity. However, researchers from Italy’s National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development believe their findings undermine previous theories that the shroud was faked in the medieval period, the Telegraph reports. The new claim seems to be stirring controversy again, as many point to previous research to the contrary.

Last year scientists were able to replicate marks on the cloth using highly advanced ultraviolet techniques that weren’t available 2,000 years ago – or during the medieval times, for that matter. Research in the 1980s suggests the image was “forged” on the cloth between 1260 and 1390, but scientists have determined the hypothesis was based on testing material from a patch likely used to to repair the cloth after a fire, the BBC reports. Since the shroud and “all its facets” still cannot be replicated using today’s top-notch technology, researchers suggest it is impossible that the original image could have been created in either period. However, scientists are willing to point out the flaw in their findings. The Vatican Insider reports: “This inability to repeat (and therefore falsify) the image on the Shroud makes it impossible to formulate a reliable hypothesis on how the impression was made”.

If the new findings are true, the Shroud is certainly miraculous! I am holding off on believing it quite yet, but neither do I deny it. I am learning to not jump to conclusions so quickly as I once did.

Interestingly, if you superimpose an image of the Shroud of Turin over the icon of the Pantocrator (Sinai), there are very few major differences between the two.

And the images match at over 350 data points.
 
Umm…Respectfully, I think this is old news, not breaking news. 🙂

Is there a date on this article?
 
The impression of peace, determination and success on the dead man’s face authenticates the shroud for me.

The embeded video says regarding the scientists: “They concluded that the exact shade, texture and depth of the imprints could only be produced with the aid of ultraviolet lasers – technology that was clearly not available in medieval times.”

And: “…in case there was any doubt about the preternatural degree of energy needed to make such distinct marks, the report spells it out: ‘This degree of power cannot be reproduced by any normal UV source built to date.’”

God Bless
 
Great news, although I never doubted it’s authenticity for a moment 🙂

I’m as hopeful as anyone that this can be proven to be the authentic burial shroud of Christ.

However, this latest study surely doesn’t end the controversy. The carbon dating still has to be re-done on a section of the cloth that wasn’t contaminated. Also other scientists have to be given a chance to show that means other than UV could have been used to create it.

Trust me, the controversy isn’t going to go away because of this one study.
 
I believe the Shroud of Turin is authentic. The Knights Templar brought it from the Holy Land and it’s first recorded owner was French Knight Geoffroi de Charny.👍

When we had a presentation of the history of the Shroud, Father mentioned that others had suggested that perhaps the Shroud of Turin had been used as a reference point for the Sinai Pantocrator icon, with the iconographer having the Shroud right in front of him. As we all know, that icon was painted in the 6th century.

Also, stumbled across this link as I was looking for the date of the Sinai Pantocrator’s origin. shroudofturin4journalists.com/pantocrator.htm
 
I believe it’s authentic. I don’t see how anyone could think it’s fake when it clearly does unexplainable things that science cannot duplicate even today. If you look at his face in the shroud, it’s the face in the icon. Pretty much identical. I look at both of the images every day, one on my computer desk and one on my computer wallpaper, it’s the same face. I think it was the image created from the light of the resurrection.

Amen to that!

While a priest in Jerusalem has told me that everybody looks peaceful in death; to me the Shroud face is a class of it’s own. Nobody looks good dead, in my experience; the fact that the Shroud face does, despite a hideous death, is worth 1000*1000 words.

It was “absconded” during the sack of Constantinople and popped up after the Templars were repressed. It is more than likley the same shroud found in Edessa in the 6th century which was bought Constantinople in the 10th century.

Good morning, GEddie,

Considering the “hideous death” is the backbone of my impression.

God loves you,
Don

Till today we can’t conclude how it was made, but that radiation could have created it–not that radiation did create it.
