The Face on the Shroud of Turin

This webpage represents sculptor Willem Branca's interpretation of the face of the man of the Shroud. The page includes excellent photographs of the sculpture in its various forms, along with instructions for ordering. The site has one frustrating feature however, in that it prompts your browser to spawn an additional page with advertisments. Still, some might find the work interesting and worth the inconvenience.


The Holy Shroud Guild Home Page

Founded in 1951 by Father Adam Otterbein, Father Peter Rinaldi and Father Francis Filas, this organization and its founders were instrumental in helping STURP obtain permission to perform the 1978 scientific examination of the Shroud. Dedicated to promoting the devotion and scientific research of the cloth, the Guild makes available a large selection of Shroud books, photographs, a Newsletter and other materials. It is one of the oldest organizations dedicated to the Shroud of Turin in the United States.


The Holy Shroud in VRML

This is a fascinating site because of its interactive three-dimensional imagery. Site host Mario Chiesa gives viewers the opportunity to move around three dimensional images generated from the Shroud of Turin facial image. The site is available in both English and Italian. Note however, that successful viewing of this site requires an up-to-date browser and VRML viewer software. I tested the site using the Cosmo Player 2.0, which I downloaded from the C-NET Central website. They also provide a review of the software and other valuable information. Unfortunately, no link to download the Cosmo Player software was available directly from Mario's site.


"Imago Christi," a Shroud Interest Group

This is the home page of the "Imago Christi" Shroud Interest Group, founded by Art Historian and Sindonologist, Michelina M. LeMargie, Ph.D., to "research, study, and disseminate" information concerning the relic known as the Shroud of Turin. Imago Christi exists "for artistic, educational, and scientific purposes." It is a non-profit organization designed to help the public audience learn about the Shroud by facilitating an interest in the humanities. The site features a color photograph of a painted Shroud copy dated 1516 and attributed to Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), which indicates that the Shroud had been through a fire at some time prior to the Chambéry fire of 1532. The artist included the same set of four "L Shaped" burn-holes still visible on the cloth today.


Ion Science Explains the Enduring Mysteries of the Shroud of Turin

This recent article by Guy Cramer is prefaced with a timeline of recent Shroud research designed to provide "scientific background" on the Shroud. As such, it does include valuable references to many recently published scientific papers. However, it must be noted that the timeline also includes several recent theories that have not yet been fully investigated or peer reviewed and several earlier theories that never gained the full acceptance of the scientific community. The article itself presents Mr. Cramer's personal theory on the carbon dating, which he believes was completed accurately but yielded a 12th century date because of ionization.


Local Plant Evidence Supports Authenticity of Shroud of Turin

This is a link to a front page article that appeared on April 14, 1997 in the Jerusalem Post Daily Internet Edition, which encapsulates the work of Avinoam Danin, an Israeli botanist and Alan and Mary Whanger, noted Shroud researchers, in discovering apparent flower images on the Shroud. According to Danin, these images suggest that the Shroud is from Palestine.

This page is a link to the Nova T website describing "The Man of Pain, The Shroud of Turin," a 60 minute long film documentary that Nova T Srl — the Capuchin friars’, a Turin based television production company, in coproduction with Euphon Srl — published for the last public ostension held in the Piedmontese capital from 19th April to 14th June, 1998. The program was chosen as the occasion’s Official Documentary by the Comitato per l’Ostensione della Sindone. These extraordinary pictures, recorded in HDVS (High Definition SONY recording system) by the NOVA T and EUPHON crews, are of exceptional importance because they were the first professional recordings since the television ostension of 1973. Information on how to obtain copies of the program is also provided.


Market Journal of Fine and Decorative Art Online

The Shroud of Turin: On Display In 1998 is the title of this web page, part of a larger website dealing with the decorative arts. As you know, I generally restrict the links on this page to only websites that deal with the Shroud.

An excellent compilation page of Shroud information. My thanks to Greg Fewer in England for bringing this site to my attention.

New Heaven New Earth Article: The Shroud of Turin

This excellent article by David Sunfellow summarizes what is known about the Shroud of Turin in very clear, non-scientific terms. Of particular note is a pathological report on the individual in the Shroud image by Dr. Robert Bucklin, STURP team member, which is encapsulated and quoted in the article.


New Heaven New Earth News Update: Skeptical Inquirer Debate

Recently, SI Digest, the online newsletter of the Committee For The Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), published an article by Joe Nickell about the Shroud of Turin that dismissed the Shroud as "perhaps the world's most notorious religious hoax." Since CSICOP claims to champion serious scientific investigation, David Sunfellow, founder of NHNE, immediately wrote the editors and asked them to either issue a public retraction concerning the Shroud article they published and/or offer an explanation as to why they ran an article on the Shroud that was so blatantly biased and uninformed. In case they weren't aware of the serious scientific investigation that has been, and continues to be conducted on the Shroud, David's letter also included information from the Shroud of Turin Website. This began an interesting exchange of letters, including one that I wrote in response to the Joe Nickell article. This link includes the complete text of the entire exchange between Sunfellow and the CSICOP.

Science and the Shroud

A new article from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's magazine, "The Mission", deals with carbon dating research done by Dr. Leoncio Garza-Valdes and Dr. Stephen Mattingly. Their work throws into question the accuracy of the 1260-1390 carbon date assigned to the Shroud by 1988 test results. It includes a number of excellent color photographs and provides an overview of the research and its possible impact on many areas of science.

If you are an educator and are interested in how you might integrate the study of the Shroud of Turin into your lesson plan or, if you are a student with the goal of writing a report on the Shroud, you should visit the recently updated and redesigned STEP Website for ideas. Russ even includes a long list of possible topics for Shroud research projects.


The Shroud of Turin: Genuine Artifact or Manufactured Relic? (Includes Pray Manuscript illustration)

This is a link to an article by Jack Kilmon that appeared in "The Glyph," the Journal of the Archaeological Institute of America (San Diego). Mr. Kilmon argues in favor of authenticity and offers a comprehensive review of the scientific facts about the Shroud, siting references for many of them. The article includes closeup photographs of the Shroud and an illustration of the entombed and enshrouded Jesus of Nazareth found in a prayer book from Budapest known as the Pray Manuscript. Kilmon states, "The illustration not only depicts the unique "L" pattern of burn holes but also the unique weave pattern of the shroud. There can be no mistake that the Pray Manuscript of 1192 was modeled from the Shroud of Turin." Also included is a link to Mr. Kilmon's artistic interpretation of the Shroud image based on a Shroud photograph: "The Face of the Man in the Shroud."

It also includes links to a parallel site that discusses the Holy Grail. The site has one frustrating feature however. It prompts your browser to spawn a distracting smaller page or "console" filled with advertisments that sits on top of the main page. Still, there are many in-depth articles you might find worth the inconvenience.


Skeptic's Dictionary - Shroud of Turin

This is a link to an article in the Skeptic's Dictionary, which takes a very critical and negative view of the Shroud and those who argue for its authenticity. It mainly represents the views of Joe Nickell, an outspoken Shroud critic who believes the image on the cloth is a medieval painting and "is probably a forgery". Mr. Nickell, a professional magician, has been writing and lecturing on the Shroud for 20 years. He is the author of "Inquest on the Shroud of Turin," available from the "Website Store" page of this site.


Skeptical Inquirer - CSICOP News Article

This is a link to an article on the website newsletter of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) known as the Skeptical Inquirer.

Textile Interpretation of the Holy Shroud Expanded!

This link was brought to my attention by Piero Rava, the C.E.O. of INMETESS S.p.A., a company in Italy that manufactures a textile interpretation of the Shroud image. Originally created in the 1970's by Mrs. Cleta Meniconi Tarantola, an expert in the art of weaving, this interpretation is exquisitely woven into the Jacquard fabric, not printed onto it, and shows the positive face of the Shroud on one side and the negative face on the other.

Recently, I was fortunate to receive one of the 1978 interpretations as a gift. I was instantly taken by the accurate and beautiful rendition of the Shroud image and the unique positive-negative effect of the image woven directly into the cloth. The website allows you to choose from English, Spanish, French, German and Italian language pages, includes excellent photographs of the woven portrait and now allows you to order this truly unique item over the Internet by going to the direct link provided.


Turin Fire Brigade Website

This website, presented in Italian by the Turin Fire Brigade, contains spectacular photographs of the April 1997 fire that threatened the Shroud and severely damaged the Guarini Chapel, the Turin Cathedral and the Royal Palace.

Turin Shroud Center of Colorado Website

This is the website of the Turin Shroud Center of Colorado, founded by Dr. John P. Jackson and Rebecca Jackson. Dr. Jackson was also the co-founder of STURP, the team that performed the first in-depth scientific examination of the Shroud in 1978. The Jacksons co-direct the activities of the Center and are noted researchers and lecturers on the Shroud. Their website offers in-depth information about the Shroud and includes many excellent articles, references and photographs. It also provides search capabilities for serious researchers, as well as information about the current work at the Center.
