VIDEO: Real Image of Jesus? The Shroud of Turin’s Mystery May be Soon Revealed!

The Shroud of Turin may be, at this moment, the most controversial fabric in the world. This piece of cloth can attest and prove Jesus Christ’s terrestrial existence and may kill once and for all the doubts about our existence in this world. For the moment, it is believed that the Shroud is real, but research is trying to determine its origins.

Here is some additional information on the Shroud of Turin, provided by Wikipedia.

The Shroud of Turin is a length of linen cloth bearing the image of a man who is alleged to be Jesus of Nazareth. The cloth itself is believed by some to be the burial shroud he was wrapped in when he was buried after crucifixion although three radiocarbon dating tests in 1988 dated a sample of the cloth to the Middle Ages. The shroud is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy. The Catholic Church has neither formally endorsed nor rejected the shroud, but in 1958 Pope Pius XII approved of the image in association with the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. Pope John Paul II called the Shroud “a mirror of the Gospel”.

The shroud is rectangular, measuring approximately 4.4 by 1.1 metres. The cloth is woven in a three-to-one herringbone twill composed of flax fibrils. Its most distinctive characteristic is the faint, brownish image of a front and back view of a naked man with his hands folded across his groin. The two views are aligned along the midplane of the body and point in opposite directions. The front and back views of the head nearly meet at the middle of the cloth.

The image of the “Man of the Shroud” has a beard, moustache, and shoulder-length hair parted in the middle. He is muscular and tall (various experts have measured him as from 1.70 to 1.88 m or 5 ft 7 in to 6 ft 2 in). Reddish-brown stains are found on the cloth, showing various wounds that, according to proponents, correlate with the yellowish image, the pathophysiology of crucifixion, and the Biblical description of the death of Jesus.

Forensic doctors have interpreted markings on the cloth as follows:

– One wrist bears a large, round wound, apparently from piercing (the second wrist is hidden by the folding of the hands)
– Upward gouge in the side penetrating into the thoracic cavity.
– Small punctures around the forehead and scalp
– Scores of linear wounds on the torso and legs.
– Swelling of the face
– Streams of blood down both arms

The details of the image on the shroud are not easily seen with the naked eye, but they can be more clearly revealed through photography. In May 1898 photographer Secondo Pia was allowed to photograph the shroud. Pia was startled by the visible image of the negative plate, implying that the shroud is effectively a negative of some kind. Pia was at first accused of doctoring his photographs, but he was vindicated in 1931 when Giuseppe Enrie photographed the shroud and obtained results similar to Pia’s.
