Vatican Researcher Finds Writings On The Shroud of Turin

Nov. 21, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Vatican scholar, Barbara Frale, has come up with the information that the ‘Shroud of Turin‘, debated as the burial cloth of Jesus, has several writings on it that could prove its viability. According to Frale, the text includes the words “(J)esu(s) Nazarene” which translates into Greek as Jesus of Nazareth. The claim has been made in her book, La Sindone di Gesu nazareno or ‘The Shroud of Jesus of Nazareth’.
The discovery was made by Frale with the help of the computer analysis of the shroud’s photos which are not accessible very frequently. Frale further believes that the words were written on a document so as to identify the body (Jesus’s), but the ink seeped into the shroud.
The piece of cloth bears the images of a man who has been crucified, and its validity as the cloth used to cover Jesus during his burial, has been debated for ages. The experts dismiss Frale’s claims saying that the shroud has been concluded to be a medieval forgery established through carbon-dating. To this, Frale said, that during the medieval times, no one except a heretic could have omitted to use these particular words of divinity, and even a forger “would have had all the reasons to put up the words on the object”. She also says that the shroud could have been seen as a hoax if the words ‘Christ’ or ‘Son of God’, were found instead of ‘Jesus of Nazareth’. Gian Marco Rinaldi, an expert on the matter, said that the signs are brought out by computer enhancements and that the letters are a figment of imagination.
