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.

First 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.
