One of the functions of this analog computer is to make brightness maps (not 3D), but the brightness map of the image on the Shroud comes out in proportion 3D.ĩ) The legend of King Agbar V tells us this king of Edessa (modern day Sanliurfa, Turkey) contracted leprosy (around 29AD) and believe Jesus could heal him so he sent an emissary to Jerusalem and he was already crucified. For example, let’s make a case.ġ) All the blood on the Shroud is AB human exudate blood, meaning it exuded from a corpse, so the man on the Shroud was dead before being put into the cloth.Ģ) There is dirt on the nose, knees and bottom of the feet areas on the image which is travertine argonite which is the dirt in Jerusalem, so this man was in Jerusalem.ģ) The image itself is 70 nanometers deep, the width of a human hair and the image is only on one-side of each cell of the fabric (cells are like straws).Ĥ) The image wasn’t added to the cloth, but is from some process that sped up the aging of the cloth where the image is compared to where the image is not.ĥ) The look on the face of the man on the Shroud is not one of pain or anguish or peace.Ħ) The whip wounds come from a Roman flagrum, proven when metal barbells at the ends were found in archaeological sites and matched the wounds precisely.ħ) The spear wound in the side comes from a Roman lance which can be proven because one can see the shape of the lance on the cloth.Ĩ) The image properties have what is like a spatial database in brightness that correlate directly to 3D when the image is processed with a VP-8 Image Analyzer. The best evidence (I never speak of the Shroud in terms of proof) is everything taken together. DNA is too degraded to test that, but if it could be tested, that is a comparison based test. I would offer that in my opinion, science will never be able to ‘prove’ the Shroud authentic because there is nothing to compare it to. Whilst in Turin she told Father Peter Rinaldi that after her healing she had lived a normal working life, was married and had a daughter of her own. Little Josie who in 1954 had been given last rites in preparation for death had been totally healed by simply touching the shroud. In 1978 at a public exhibition of the shroud, Josie, now aged 35, visited the cathedral at Turin, once again accompanied by Cheshire – but with no wheelchair. Josie gently and respectfully placed her hand onto the shroud – and she was healed! Once there, the rolled up shroud was placed across the arms of her wheelchair. Umberto agreed, and Cheshire and Josie went on to Turin where the shroud was kept. Cheshire was so impressed by Josie’s strong faith that he took her to Portugal to see former King Umberto II, the shroud’s owner, to ask permission for her to see the shroud.

She was still unable to walk, but continued to say that if she could just see the shroud and be near it, she believed that she would be completely cured. In just holding the photograph Josie had a partial remission of the bone disease, and two weeks later, Josie came home from the hospital. Josie urged her mother to help her achieve this, so her mother wrote to Captain Cheshire and he had a photograph of the shroud face sent to Josie. However, Josie had heard that a retired RAF Group Captain Leonard Cheshire was holding lectures on the Shroud of Turin quite close by, and she told her mum she felt sure that she would be able to walk again if she could just see the shroud. The doctor told her mother that there was no hope for Josie, and she was given the last rites of the church. In more recent years, in 1954, in Gloucestershire, England, 11-year-old girl, Josie Wollam, was in hospital dying of a severe bone disease, osteomyelitis, in both her hip and leg, she also had lung abscesses. Four credible witnesses testified that in 544 when Edessa was threatened with a siege by the Persian army, the image was rushed to the top of the city wall and displayed to the enemy the army retreated and abandoned the attack.Įusebius and others stated that King Agabar V of Edessa was terminally ill and was instantly healed after just gazing on the shroud.Īnother story relates that when the shroud was in procession to Constantinople in 944, a man who had an evil spirit was delivered when he touched it. From its earliest years there have been many stories around the shroud of Turin, there have been many claims of miracles and healings.
