“The Shroud of Turin, a centuries-old linen cloth that many believe was used to wrap Jesus’ body after crucifixion, is unlikely to be from Biblical times, hi-tech new research asserts. ‘I think the possibility of this having happened is very remote,’ said Cicero Moraes, a Brazilian graphics expert, who created a virtual simulation of the shroud to place over an image of a body to see whether impressions on the fabric were a match. The shroud’s origin can only be traced to the mid-14th century, which has prompted some skeptics to dismiss the cloth as a medieval forgery. ‘On one side are those who think it is an authentic shroud of Jesus Christ, on the other, those who think it is a forgery,’ Moraes stated. ‘But I am inclined towards another approach: that it is, in fact, a work of Christian art, which managed to convey its intended message very successfully.'” (10/30/24)
