Turin Shroud revisited

New evidence has emerged about the Turin Shroud.

It seems the blood stains are not only human but reveal the circumstances of the victim’s death. A scientific article published on a recent study points out that elements in the blood are consistent with ‘polytrauma’. Giulio Fanti concludes: ‘The presence of these biological nanoparticles found during our experiments point to a violent death for the man wrapped in the Turin Shroud.’

Whether such discoveries prove that the ghostly image on the shroud is that of Jesus cannot be so quickly proven, but it adds to a body of data that makes it the stand-out relic of Church history.
