For those with faith, no evidence is necessary; for those without it, no evidence will suffice- St Thomas Aquinas

[Cazaly]

Science cannot prove what it is, only what it’s not. It’s not formed from painting, rubbing, scorching etc. The fact that’s it a 3D photographic negative is incredible. The fact that the blood was on it before the image, is also incredible. Latest dating through wide angle X ray, dates it to around 200 BC to 200 AD. I’d call it the most enigmatic relic in the world.

Religious or not, you have to admit that Jesus was a real person, wether he was the son of God or a magical person or just someone who spread the word of the religion, he actually existed. Now, the shroud being Jesus’s or not can’t be known for sure, there isn’t enough proof to back up both parties. But either way, Jesus actually existed.

[freethinker]

how nice of Him to leave that photographic negative on purpose bc He knew people would doubt His existence centuries later

[silverhawkscape]

And now its Been Confirmed that the Shroud of Turin is at least 2000 years old now.

[Tommytoolsqueezer]

Who’s here after the new findings of the shroud? It just got dated back as far as 2000 years ago.

[cogicmj]

Extremely Powerful. No scientist in the world can prove the 3D image on the shroud.

[treasuretrovel]

It is not because of the "contact" of the body with the cloth but actually the 3-D imprint that resulted from the energy of the resurrection in which the body turned to energy and moved through the cloth.

[BlenderStudy]

I didn't know they tested the wrong piece until today. 🥶

[JenniferRiggin]

Super informative. Love this bit of miraculous Catholic history.

[reynoldichi]

This is really interesting. More please

[loisbruce]

Belief in the shroud is a testament of one's faith - with or without scientific proof.

[perlaperezgutierrez]

Those who say there is No God are foolish. Jesus did exist and does exist now. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. John 14:6.

[TheHellkapRides]

Is this a new episode? I can't find it on History channel...dont see. Hope it's new. Love this topic!

[EddieRicks-iv]

There are many documentaries on the subject matter and there is a lot of interesting information that not all documentation is complete I would see everything there is to know about this because it’s probably the most studied object from antiquity and it’s truly profound😊

[BackwardzCap]

Anyone here after the shroud of Turin was confirmed to be 2000 years old which coincides with when Jesus lived?

[rogerjones]

Tha Holy face of the shroud appeared to eight of us after praying the rosary, in the church of Thomas the Apostle, Abercynon. The face appeared around the crucifix on the Altar, with eyes closed. I noticed later, looking at pictures of the face of the shroud, light forming a cross on it, which matched the crucifix and face seen on the Altar. Also if you look at early paintings of Jesus, they also show a cross placed behind his head. I always believed the Shroud was authentic, now i have absolutely no doubt.

[Catchn_KingsTV]

Regardless of how one looks at it, there is too much precision in life itself to discredit a higher power. Every living creature has a heart and a brain. No way you’re telling me an Atom exploded and gave us voices and the animals noises 💯

Carbon dating anything can have contamination that gets tested causing a false calculation of original dating. This cloth appears very authentic.
