(From their website): This fascinating exhibition, featuring life-sized photographic replicas of the Shroud of Turin was created in 2008, so that the replica of the Shroud could be used as a visual aid to tell the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The exhibition takes the journey of Jesus from his trial through the events of Good Friday to the empty tomb. Utilising passages from the four gospels the exhibition graphically and physically presents all elements of the Crucifixion.

This is a great opportunity to introduce the Shroud to your children or grandchildren.

* Shroud of Turin, The: Genuine Artifact or Manufactured Relic?
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."
