Shroud of Turin - Recent Studies

The latest research on the Shroud of Turin was carried out by the National Agency for New Technologies of ENEA, and it also published a report on the results of the studies that were conducted during the last five years. The main goal of the scientists was to reveal the main mystery of the Shroud of Turin - how the image of the face of Jesus Christ was applied. First of all, all possible chemical and physical processes were subjected to the study, the influence of which could affect the color of the shroud.

Turin Shroud: where is it?

The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth, in which, it is supposed, was clothed the dead Jesus Christ after the crucifixion in Jerusalem, April 7, 30th year from 16-00 and wrapped almost 40 hours). From this shroud Christ is raised.

The authenticity of the Shroud of Turin is now being proved, many secrets are associated with it. For the first time it is referred to as the property of the Frenchman Joffrey de Charny. Having changed the succession of owners, the shroud found its rest in the Vatican.

As it was discovered in the 19th century, the face from the Turin Shroud is a kind of negativity of the face of Christ, familiar to the Christian world according to the icons. It was scientifically proven that the body, which was wrapped in cloth, suffered all the torments described in the Gospel. The man had a broken nose, his face was covered with blood.

Turin Shroud: research

A group of scientists from Italy have already refuted the previously widespread hypothesis that the face of Christ from the Shroud of Turin was created by some falsifier, who lived in the Middle Ages. The fact is that the image of a person is almost imperceptible, and besides has such unique physical and chemical properties and characteristics that it is difficult to compare with something that exists now on Earth. Not that in the Middle Ages - even in our age of modern technology this coloring can not be reproduced. Hence, any versions with falsification are rejected.

The mysteries of the Shroud of Turin are inexplicable from the point of view of modern science, but it is simple and understandable to the heart of a Christian. In addition, it has already been proven that the blood on the tissue belonged to a person at the age of about 30 years.

ENEA scientists have not even been able to find an exact answer to the question of exactly how the tissue lay around the body - from above and below, without tight contact, or on the contrary, tightly wrapped the body.

The face appeared later than the body appeared in the tissue, because there is no image under the stains of blood. All the spots have so sharp edges, as if the body was not taken out, and no traces of rot, which should have been formed in 40 hours. This and much more proves that science is powerless to explain what religion does not doubt.
