Christine has an extensive post on the new tests performed on the Shroud of Turin. Fr. Blake is hosting a lively discussion on the same topic as well. I have always found Shroud studies to be intensely interesting. While my faith in Christ and the Resurrection certainly does not depend upon the Shroud being authentic, I do believe it to be genuine. Relics such as the Shroud are intended to boost our faith and inspire devotion, rather than forming the basis of belief. Share
