The Shroud of Turin – Dematerialization of the Body?

© 1999 by Linda Moulton Howe

May 20, 1999 Toronto, Canada - The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth alleged to be the burial shroud of Christ. It has the front and back images of a crucified man as if the linen had been wrapped around the body from the feet up over the head and back down to the feet, leaving complete front and back images -- including what appear to be bloodstains. The sharp detail of the blood combined with what appear to be teeth and bones on the cloth have provoked several scientists to hypothesize that intense radiation involving light and x-ray frequencies produced the images on the linen. The Shroud was photographed in 1931 and 1978 and you can visit www.shroud.com for more information about international Shroud research.
