Called Them What They Are: Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ's, Burial Shroud and Face Cloth

1/28/2023

The year was 1902. The first major scientific study on the Shroud of Turin was completed. This scientific study was provoked by Secondo Pia's first ever photograph taken of the Shroud in 1898. Pia reported that he almost dropped and broke the photographic plate in the darkroom from the shock of what appeared: a positive image of a man and a face in a detail that could not be seen with the naked eye. Pia immediately had to endure ridicule and false accusations that he forged the photograph.

Then in April of 1902, the team of Paul Vignon and Yves Delage, an agnostic, submitted their paper on the Shroud of Turin for approval at the Institute of France, Sessions of the Academy of Science for publication.
Jesus, Jesus Christ, Upper Room, Upper Room The Way, L. J. Williams, BBV Publishing, Shroud of turin, Jesus' shroudThe Holy Face
 The paper presented in session had detailed step-by-step research and experiments by Vignon and his colleagues, which Delage had overseen and approved. Science had demonstrated that the Shroud was not some painting or other kind of forgery. At the end, Delage pronounced these words:
 
“Tradition, more or less apocryphal, I would say – tells us that this is precisely what happened to Christ; dead on Friday and – disappeared – on Sunday. The Man of the Shroud,” the agnostic stated solemnly, “was the Christ.”

The secretary for the Physics sciences of this day’s session was Marcelin Berthelot. He was not going to allow applause from the audience to resound in the dome of the Institute with the name of Christ. Berthelot was the renowned inventor of thermos-chemistry and one of the founders of organic synthesis. He was a member of the Academie Francaise and Grand-Croix of the Legion d’Honneur. He was a positivist and militant atheist.
 
Censorship and sanctions would be the rule of the evening. Against all precedent, Berthelot notified Delage to take back his text, telling him to rewrite his paper with use of words to speak only of vaporography of Zinc, without making the least allusion to the Holy Shroud, certainly none to Christ.
 
Science was betrayed in 1902, the first of many times for the Shroud of Turin, and each time because of some men’s inability to accept both faith and reason together. A fear to accept God and then be accountable for themselves.
 
Take a moment in time now to put this into perspective. Considering this, is not to judge, only to consider for our own lives…
 
If Berthelot allowed the paper to be published as originally written, perhaps the world would have become consumed with more and more studies. True journalists of the day would have spread stories and photographs around the world. At that time, photographs were still new to the world as they slowly became more readily available and a photograph did not fail to amaze. The world was yet to be inundated with images like we are today and if more photographs were taken and circulated about Jesus’ Shroud, each one would have been a catalyst. Scientists would have become engaged, governments atoned, people would have rejoiced. World War One may have never happened. No chemical and gas weapons deployed. No indoctrination of a young Hitler, no World War Two.
 
Today, the failures of science continue, governments move toward totalitarianism, and a true Journalist is impossible to find. One must ask why we have not seen headlines across the world about the fingerprints on the bottom soles of Jesus’ feet. Monsignor Ricci’s discovery and research shows what is easily overlooked. Hands of whom grasped Jesus’ feet tightly in order to lower Him off the cross and carry Him to the tomb? Are these the fingerprints of John, the youngest and only apostle at the foot of the cross. Perhaps Joseph of Arimathea or Nicodemus. Do we dare think of the Roman Centurion, Longinus? That would have been unprecedented! Lastly and just as possible, one of the women that stayed with Mary, Jesus’ Mother. Even Jesus’ Mother herself must be considered.

On Left is Overlay, On Right Shows Positions of Fingers
What person in the middle ages would think to make a forgery showing fingerprints, that need magnification to see them, on the soles of Jesus’ feet? Fingerprints visible under magnification were incorporated into the world of science in 1870 when Alphonse Bertillon, a French anthropologist, presented his work.
 
Where were the cries for peace and good will to humankind when the results from new Carbon dating tests came back stating the Shroud was 2,000 years old? Perhaps there was only a whisper because there was no popular media coverage of the test done in March of 2013 at the University of Padua in northern Italy. They used the same fibers from the 1988 Carbon dating tests and the results dispute the 1988 findings. The new examination dates the shroud to between 300 BC and 400 AD, which would put it in the era of Christ. Reasons for the different results were discovered because only linen fibers were used in the test. The cotton fibers that were woven into the same sample material were not used. The entire Shroud is made of Linen and cotton was used in this sample section because it was a repaired patch attached in the time frame presented by the original carbon dating test. The results in 1988 were again betraying science. Only one sample area was used, when 7 different samples should have been taken.
 
To this day, failed science continues as shown with virtually no media coverage of the new dating test done with X-Rays (called WAXs) in 2022. Results show the Shroud is 2,000 years old.
 
The facts continue to prove the Shroud of Turin is Jesus’ burial cloth and all theories to the opposite have been proven false. On and on all proof says yes, while none has been substantiated to prove against. Yet, humankind is still in the grip of not calling these cloths what they truly are. Thus, becoming the articles never written, the stories never read, the movies never made, the hands that never shook, the arms that never hugged, the peace never found, the joy never explored, the hope never shared, the faith forgotten, the truth stifled, and total love ignored.

I received the flyer on the left through email. The conference room was at capacity and additional chairs were brought in to meet the demand. Someone formerly from the media was pushing hard to film the event. A Deacon and various church groups from several different parishes were in the audience.

Bill Lauto was introduced and proceeded to passionately speak about our Lord's burial cloth for just over one hour. You would have heard a pin drop to the floor, if a pin was dropped.

Some people drove 50 miles to attend because Bill Lauto, the editor at BBV Publishing, had life size images of Jesus' Shroud.

​I was happy that my historical novel Upper Room The Way, helped to raise funds for the Church with sales of over $500.00. I am proud that not only I, but also my publisher make all proceeds go to those who are in need.

I left, as I arrived, knowing as Bill Lauto knows... This is not about us or my book, it is about the Son of God.

Watching The Chosen?

Jesus, Jesus Christ, Upper Room, Upper Room The Way, L. J. Williams, BBV Publishing, Shroud of turin, Jesus' shroudThe First of 3 Historical Novels
When I wrote Upper Room The Way: 33AD to 57AD, I had set out to present the untold stories surrounding Jesus the Christ, His apostles, His Disciples and His Holy Burial Cloths. The Shroud of Turin and the Holy Sudarium.

However, this automatically makes my book a historical novel, because I am unable to know for sure what words were spoken apart from what is told in the Gospels. Nevertheless, I strived, through research, to present real everyday life situations for everyone living at that time.

The realistic reality of that time is not enjoyable to read and some will put the book down. As I evaluated those results with the start of my second book that continues the stories of our Lord's burial cloth, (Upper Room Teachings Lost: 544 AD to 1898 AD, soon to be finished and published), I was happy to learn about a new show called, The Chosen. Are you watching?

Jesus, Jesus Christ, The Chosen, Upper Room, Upper Room The Way, L. J. Williams, BBV Publishing, Shroud of turin, Jesus' shroudThe First of 8 Seasons
This new show is not afraid to immediately step into the reality of the day. Especially when the character Matthew, stepped into some animal scat.

​This n
ew show will teach Hollywood what the people truly need: Hope, Faith, Love, Belief and to Know.

This new show will teach all the ones that want money and power that we the people only need oxygen, shelter, water, food and loving support.

This show will help, as I hope my historical novels will, for people to realize and know the truth and the way.

I hope and trust that God inspired the words in my historical novel,

Rethink St. Patrick's Feast Day

St. Patrick, Saint Patrick's feast day, covid, breastplate, miracles, irish, orthodox catholicism, Irish folk, druidic gods, Jesus, Upper Room, L J Williams, LJ, Matthew Kelly, monastic prayer, penance
I have posted before on my blogs various statements on the importance of getting all the facts from multiple sources before reaching a conclusion. Today, with everyone staying out of physical touch with other people due to Covid (and eventually the real science will prevail with this horror) this may give us the opportunity to "do our homework" on a Saint that has many people using his feast day as an excuse to celebrate in profusion. 

I am not going to discuss the science behind viruses or masks, (however, only N95 mask will really work, the thin ones are a false sense of security and that is the science from years prior) I want to use the extra at home time to point out some facts and subjective conclusions about Saint Patrick.

His feast day is upon us every March and celebrating is great, however doing so to just get wasted, is not. ​Matthew Kelly wrote: "Don't let a selfish and irresponsible momentary lapse in judgment on your part, create a lifetime of pain and suffering."

Working in tandem with these words we should all know the life and facts about the REAL MAN called Saint Patrick. Immediately one would realize that spending his feast day consuming alcohol is far from any of the virtues St. Patrick lived and died for. It will behoove everyone, as they celebrate St. Patrick's Day, to learn the amazing feats about this holy man. I promise that if you do, you will not spend your time in a bar getting drunk, you will be helping to serve meals at a soup kitchen or hosting a get together (when the virus is over) to honor St. Patrick with benevolent deeds.

St. Patrick, Saint Patrick's feast day, covid, breastplate, miracles, irish, orthodox catholicism, Irish folk, druidic gods, Jesus, Upper Room, L J Williams, LJ, Matthew Kelly, monastic prayer, penanceStatue Honoring St. Patrick
St. Patrick won his converts by miraculous acts. Period. How else can anyone explain the conversions? Not one or two individuals converted, but Irish chieftain, after chieftain and their tribes accepted the Catholic faith proclaimed by St. Patrick. Even more mind warping is the fact that these people then rejected their Druidic gods, because St. Patrick brought them no secular advantages as an exchange.

These tribes of people saw and believed that St. Patrick was a man of miraculous power. A power found in the countless Irish legends. If St. Patrick was unable to do miracles, he would have been put to death on day one. What St. Patrick really was to each chieftain, was a threat to their rule. Why would they convert? One word: Miracles.

So do we really need additional proof on who was St. Patrick? His famous prayer "St. Patrick's Breastplate" offers a glimpse into this saint's mind and heart. A man devoted to the Trinity, which legend tells us that he taught this to the Irish and to orthodox Catholicism by means of the shamrock. He was a man of monastic prayer and penance. Go now, accomplish great deeds on his feast day. Do not just believe, know, and great things will happen.

The Holy Face Project, The Holy Face, Holy Face, Shroud of Turin, Jesus, Upper Room, L.J. Williams, billboards
I wish to share the following information about The Holy Face Project.

Their Mission Statement is:
​
The mission of The Holy Face Project is to silently and powerfully increase 
awareness of Jesus’ presence in our world by establishing roadside billboards of 
The Holy Face of Our Lord from The Shroud of Turin.
​
Their Background is:

In these turbulent and unprecedented times, their Prayer Group felt it important to bring Our Lord among us in a unique way by means of using highway billboards.  There is no verbiage on the billboard, just Our Lord’s Holy Face from The Shroud of Turin.  Some will know immediately who He is, others may question and inquire, and hopefully all will be impacted. 

Permission was obtained from the Shroud of Turin Education and Research Assn., Inc. to use a replica of the original digital image of the Holy Face on the billboards. This digital image is the one taken during the initial testing of the Shroud Committee in 1978 by official committee photographer and my publisher's friend, Barrie Schwortz. 

All contributions through the Community Foundation are reserved in funds specific to each billboard project location for THE HOLY FACE PROJECT and are fully tax-deductible as allowable by law. 

Their ultimate goal is to maintain our existing billboards as well as expand The Holy Face Project across the United States. If you wish to get involved or help with a donation, use the LINK below:

Documentary on Shroud

5/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Jesus, Shroud, Shroud of Turin, Upper Room, The Holy Face of Jesus, Barrie Schwortz, EWTN, Jerusalem, Holy Winding Sheet, L J Williams, BBVpublishing, BBV PublishingImage by Barrie Schwortz; STERA Inc.

​EWTN broadcasted a documentary called The Holy Winding Sheet: Exploring the Shroud of Turin.

When Parker Dow was a high school senior at a Catholic school in St. Louis, he began his investigation into the Shroud of Turin as part of his senior thesis. To his surprise, most of his friends had never heard of this cloth called the Shroud of Turin. For me this isn't a surprise. Throughout my life and wherever I visited, few know about the last miracle Jesus did for us today, while on Earth 2,000 years ago. A full body photograph of Jesus Himself called The Shroud of Turin.

The media is mostly to blame for this, because they milk the controversies to make money year after year with specials or articles that all end the same way... "We may never know." But we do know! Virtually all experts agree the Shroud of Turin is the linen cloth that wrapped the crucified body of Jesus Christ. 

When Parker Dow made his documentary, that is around 50 minutes long, my publisher at BBV Publishing was already good friends with Barrie Schwortz, the scientific photographer on the 1978 STURP team. Barrie provided some input for my historic novel: Upper Room, The Way. In Parker's documentary he interviews several Shroud experts and Barrie is one of them.

Overall, the documentary is done professionally and is great for introducing details about the Shroud for the first time to teenagers or any adult who doesn't know about the Shroud of Turin. There are a few sections of some interviews with the experts that hit a monotone delivery, but this doesn't deter from the presented facts.

Some KEY take aways and notes from Dow's documentary are:
  • How the four Shroud experts came to believe that this cloth covered the historical Jesus.
  • One of the strongest facts that disproves all those who claim this cloth is fake.*
*The fact that when viewing the Shroud under ultraviolet light you see what is invisible to the unaided eye. What forger, some 800 years ago, would know about or even know how to make bodily fluids invisible to the eye, but visible in the future when ultraviolet light was invented? What forger would even know about this clear bodily serum over half a century before modern medical science did? These facts should have behooved Dow to state them again and in more detail.

The documentary also traces the Shroud’s journey from Jerusalem to Turin and looks at the controversial 1988 carbon test. An amazing view of the last miracle Jesus did for us to see and hold today, a miracle done at His last second of physically existence on Earth 2,000 years ago.

Review on Risen Movie

2/24/2016

Risen, Risen the movie, Christ, Jesus, Upper Room, L. J. Williams, LJ Williams, BBV Publishing, Shroud, Shroud of Turin, Roman, Tribune, Galilee, Historical Novel, LJ, burial cloth, Jesus' Shroud
Lent is upon us and Easter is soon to arrive, but first is Good Friday, the day our Lord was crucified.
I ventured out to see a matinee showing of the new movie Risen and all involved did an excellent production. From realistic scenes to the acting surrounded by so much death. The anticipated ending portrayed between the Roman Tribune and Jesus is the uplifting moment all desire.

Yet after all the research I did, both secular and faith based, for my Historical Novel called UPPER ROOM, THE WAY: 33AD to 57AD, I wondered why a fictional story of a Roman Tribune was created when we have data of two Roman Centurions directly involved. We even know their names: Centurion Petronius who guarded Jesus’ tomb and Centurion Longinus who oversaw the crucifixion.

Additional items in the movie had no historical data to support the presentation, such as the Emperor of Rome visiting Jerusalem just after Jesus’ resurrection by way of a river that doesn’t exist. Also digging up Jewish graves to find a body for the missing Jesus would have caused riots in the streets and this would have been duly noted in both secular and religious records. I personally was disappointed to just see Jesus appearing only to the apostles all the time especially when data tells of Jesus appearing to hundreds, especially in Galilee.

Nevertheless I was pleased to see for the first time, a movie that presented the Shroud of Turin’s image of Jesus. The timing of visits to the tomb, who saw the image and who took the Shroud isn’t reflective of any available data that we have, but at least the inclusion of the Shroud’s image will be a conversation starter.

I am happy with the work I did on the Historical Novel UPPER ROOM, THE WAY: 33AD to 57AD and thankful to all those who helped make this book possible. Including Barrie Schwortz who was the Official Documenting Photographer for the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP). This was the team of scientists that conducted the first in-depth scientific examination of the Shroud in 1978. Today, his twenty year old not for profit website: Shroud.com, presents all the data on the Shroud of Turin.

As I stated in the past, my Historical Novel has nothing to do with me. I receive no profit from this publication nor does the publishing company BBV Publishing. All monies are going to help the poor. My presentation of what probably happened because of Jesus’ burial cloth, that we know as the Shroud of Turin, is based on both secular and religious data we have. However, in the end, this is only about our Lord and how we can rise up to be the best we can be with our life here on earth.

Jesus' Shroud Archived

On April 19th of 2015 Jesus' burial Shroud, also known as the Shroud of Turin, was placed on display for the public to view until June 24th of the same year. This rare exposition of Jesus' Shroud gave time for more than 2 Million people to look upon Jesus' Shroud.

Jesus' Shroud in Turin is the most scientifically studied artifact in the history of humankind. About 14 feet long and three-and-a-half feet wide, the Shroud holds the front and back image of a brutally tortured and crucified man. This artifact has been venerated by Christians for two thousand years as the burial shroud of Jesus. Yet, the Catholic Church or any other Christian religion as I know, has not taken an official position stating that the Shroud is authentic. Now I know, a claim of authenticity does not have anything to do with those of faith believing and living the way Jesus taught us. Nevertheless, since all unpretentious people and scientist knowledgeable of all the "unspun" facts about the Shroud claim authenticity, I am now calling the Shroud of Turin what it is... Jesus' burial Shroud. In addition, since all efforts in every discipline over 35 years has failed to reproduce the same exact image, I am using one word to explain how the image appeared... Resurrection.

Coinciding with this public viewing, Pope Francis covered the logistics so homeless people from the city of Rome, could travel and visit Jesus' Shroud before he would visit. Then during the papal visit to Jesus' Shroud, Pope Francis met with workers, farmers, businesspeople, the sick and disabled.

When Pope Francis entered the cathedral and look upon Jesus' Shroud for the first time, he spent several minutes praying beside the display. Upon leaving, he approached and touched the reliquary. Afterwards in Turin's Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the pontiff said, “The Shroud attracts (us) toward the martyred face and body of Jesus. At the same time, it pushes (us) toward the face of every suffering and unjustly persecuted person. It pushes us in the same direction as the gift of Jesus’ love.”

Last week the public display concluded for Jesus' Shroud with celebrating Mass. The next time Jesus' Shroud will be made available to view is unknown.

Look Upon Jesus' Shroud

4/19/2015

Shroud, Shroud of Turin, Jesus, Christ, burial cloth of Jesus, Barrie Schwortz, Upper Room, L. J. Williams, BBV Publishing
Copyright 1978 Barrie Schwortz Collection, STERA, Inc.
Today, April 19, 2015, Jesus' Shroud was made available to view in a city called Turin. This public exhibition occurs five years after the last period of time people saw Jesus' Shroud. The exhibition has a 67 day schedule and over one million pilgrims already hold reservations through the Archdiocese of Turin's Online Reservation System. The final total of pilgrims will be far greater.

Pope Francis will visit and speak about the Shroud, before the event closes on June 24, 2015. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy has hosted Jesus' Shroud since 1578.

Now a few facts about the title of my Blog post today... I am tired of the game being played by pretentious scientists or people that just want to get 15 minutes of fame and the media dragging out a controversy just to create ratings for profit.
Shroud, Shroud of Turin, Jesus, Christ, burial cloth of Jesus, Barrie Schwortz, Upper Room, L. J. Williams, BBV PublishingFirst Image by Photographer Secondo Pia in 1898
After 35 years of real peered reviewed science, we know the Shroud is NOT a painting, NOT a scorch, NOT a photograph, and NOT a fake from a few hundred years ago. Carbon Dating tests were done on a cotton repair job performed around the mid 1300s. So the test was right, but then wrong, because the whole body of the Shroud is Linen, not cotton. Dozens of additional facts show the Shroud to be 2000 years old including a second cloth in Spain with records going back to 400AD. This cloth is known as the Sudarium of Oviedo. The "exact" same blood stains and bodily fluid marks from around the face on the Shroud match the ones on the Sudarium. The reason is because the cloth covered the same person... Jesus. All unpretentious scientists know this data.


Skeptics, are now sacrificing any creditability grasping at singular points to state the Shroud is a medieval forgery, while ignoring the multitude of facts that prove otherwise. The biggest fact ignored is the one against the claim that a medieval forgery was done to fool the primitive minds of the times. The fact is that whatever was done in the 1300s we can do better and faster today with all our technology, but somehow after 35 years and thousands of tests, we can NOT duplicate the image with all its properties on the Shroud. No modern day mind with today's technology or even with old 14th century crafts can reproduce the image on the Shroud.

In the end, an unpretentious mind will realize who else could this cloth cover other than Jesus. His legs were not broken, He wore a cap of thorns and He rose from the dead leaving an image on his Shroud as the last miracle to be fully understood today with our modern technology. Only because of the resurrection, a new faith was born and His followers were eventually called Christians. For two thousand years their faith grew and they didn't need to see Jesus' Shroud.

    Despite this book being a Historical Novel, the main characters are not fictional. Their names are not made up and the presented events are of the highest probability derived from statistics, witnesses, documentation, archeological finds, scientific proof, and the studies of human behavior. These are probabilities not widely discussed and may explain about some who were misjudged, misunderstood, or completely ignored. How those who were evil, became good and those who were weak, became strong. Nevertheless, the truth is unchanged. For if there is a God, did He leave tangible proof for those of us who say faith is not enough?
