Clean wash for Turin shroud

The result of the Turin Shroud's confirmed scientific research is not as mundane as previous doubts.

>>> Is theTurin shroud used to bury the body of Christ?

For devotees, the Shroud of Turin is a true treasure, which packs the body of Jesus when he is taken down from the cross. However, some skeptics believe it is nothing more than a mockery of the Middle Ages. Now science is on the side of Christians. Researchers have used enough forensic tests to compare fibers from shrouds with a range of old-fashioned fabrics. As a result, the Turin shroud can be made from Jesus' time.

The results contradict the shocking research in 1988, led by the British Museum, using carbon isotope methods to assess the fabric. The conclusion at that time was the Turin Shroud, which imprinted the face of a bearded man with wounds like being closed to the cross, believed to date from the Middle Ages, ie after the time the point of the Lord's crucifixion for 1,000 years. However, scientists at the University of Padua (Italy) argue that the results may have been distorted by centuries of damage to water and fire. Historically, it was affected in the fire of the Chambéry Chapel (France) in 1532.

The Turin Shroud, one of the most controversial relics of Catholicism, was called 'the symbol of suffering of all time' by Pope John Paul II . The latest discovery of the Turin shroud was presented in a book entitled Il Mistero della Sindone (ie The Mystery of the Shroud), which was launched on Good Friday, which is on Friday, which falls on the 29th. / 3 years now. The authors are Professor Giulio Fanti, expert in heat and engineering at Padua University, and journalist Saverio Gaeta. The two men conducted a survey of the fabric from the famous shroud and compared them with samples from 3,000 BC to modern times to determine whether it was a meek or real thing.

The crux of the study is three new testing methods. First, experts use infrared light, then Raman spectroscopy, to measure radiation through wavelengths. This is the method commonly used in forensic science. The first two experiments showed that the fibers appeared in the period of 300 BC until 400 AD, meaning that there was a time of Jesus. While the results in 1988 suggest that it dates from 1260 to 1390. Since the Holy See is determined not to allow experts to access this relic, Professor Fanti's group must rely on the tested fabric. in 1988.

Before his official resignation, Pope Benedict XVI allowed the display of the shroud as a "final gift" for Catholics. Italian national broadcaster will broadcast the Turin shroud, but ordinary people will not have access to the piece until 2025, the next time on display.
