Legends and Facts of Jesus' Holy Relics | Parable

Jesus Christ. The Gospels narrate the key periods of his life, from his birth through to his suffering on the Cross in Jerusalem. But what exactly do we know today about this man’s life? For centuries, researchers, historians and enthusiasts have embarked on a quest to find his final relics: garments, the Holy Cross, nails, burial sites, his tomb and even Jesus’ blood… Many believe they have found the ultimate evidence of Jesus’ existence.

But do these relics really exist? Where are they hidden and what do they really tell us? What challenges do their owners, researchers or worshipers face?

From the Eastern Roman Empire to the European Crusaders; from Jerusalem to Turin, we have followed in the footsteps of the most famous relics worshiped by millions of believers. Combining archaeology, history and mysticism, The Holy Relics: The Quest is an investigation that takes us right to the heart of the mysteries and controversies which could lead us to the Holy Grail.

It wouldn’t matter if we had Jesus’s bronzed baby sandals and his baby quilt! It is His perfect sinless life and resurrection that should matter to the world!

Blessed is he that believeth by faith. Throughout scripture Jesus repeats that it is thru THEIR faith that they are healed

I had the privilege of visiting Jerusalem in January of 1995 & the most places that stuck with me was the Holy Sepulchre, Sea of Galilee & the River Jordan it was amazing and I'm so glad I made that visit 💞
Thank you God 🙏

Relics, rituals, religion and relatives are red herrings.
What God requires is a personal relationship: "If anyone opens the door (of his heart) I will come in." Revelation 3:20

In 1978 the Shroud of Turin was subjected to five days of evidence gathering by 24 scientists using 8, 000 lbs of equipment. They took three years to analyze the data. The formal conclusions were that the Shroud's image is not composed of paint, stain, dye, ink, sweat, watercolor, or scorch and that it is not the work of an artist. The scientists said that the cloth had been in contact with a human corpse and that they were unable to formulate an explanation as to how the image was formed. Since the image shows underlying skeletal features such as teeth, it seems that radiation from the enclosed corpse might be responsible for its formation. Therefore, the possibility of a related neutron radiation event ought to be considered when evaluating the Shroud's C14 data. However, in 1989 the British Museum refused to do that, and, instead, manipulated the Shroud's C14 data and also the mathematical analysis of that data in order to arrive at the Museum's desired conclusions.
Nuclear engineer Robert Rucker has subjected the C14 data to an evaluation using a Los Alamos neutron flux program and has found that the Shroud's C14 data is consistent with the hypothesis of a neutron radiation event that originated from the enclosed corpse. shroudresearch(dot)net

The forged pigment theory for the Shroud is absolutely ridiculous.

If the Shroud image had been forged with pigment why has no pigment or dye ever been detected on the Shroud, yet the image is still there?

If you need pigment to have the image, and no pigment is present, then the logical conclusion is that this theory is complete nonsense.

It really bothers me that the narrator constantly refers to worshipping of perceived holy objects.
None of these objects are worshipped. They are revered!
Please get your definitions in order, Parable!

My Trust in Our Heavenly Father's Love is due to His Actions in Our Lives!

[annettebeckett]

It amazes me that so many people cannot tell the difference between idolatry and iconology

[sarahsmileseriously]

We don’t need these objects to believe but it says in the Bible that knowledge will increase. As we see it unfolding in multiple ways in science that supports the past.
I truly believe this is a time of mercy before anything happens a call to Jesus if you will.
May God bless each of us that we might walk the path to Him!

As a Christian don't need relics to believe the message

[jonathanpasch]

Funny how when you sneak up on an atheist and yell "Boo!", they shriek and yell "Jesus!"

[maxsterling]

Everything needs to be understood in context including context in your own souls insightful interaction with your physical reality have an ear listen to the living word stay wholesome

The makers of this documentary have failed to include the latest findings on The Shroud. Scientists came to the conclusion that no paint, ink or dye was used to create the image on The Shroud. One of the earlier modern investigations took material from the outer edge of The Shroud but this material had been added to the cloth to repair it when damaged. Some of the scientists who were involved in a later investigation were not Christians and some of them were Jewish. They had no interest in saying The Shroud was something it was not. There interest was to understand what the cloth was and learn about the image. Using the latest technology they could explain how the image had been created and concluded it was not created in the middle ages. Plant matter, mould, was found and this matched with those found in Jerusalem. Please look further into this if interested as this documentary does not do The Shroud justice.

[micjoseph]

I believe the shroud is real as it can not be duplicated to this day, infsct there is 1 million for anyone that can so I've read, it's never been done.

[gracemathew]

Wouldn’t it be pretty easy to identify the pigments if the image on the shroud was created using ocher? From all the studies, I believe no pigments were identified on the shroud. The conclusion in this “documentary” makes no sense.

[maryannemoll]

I’m so relieved they painted a person with red paint. For a moment they I thought they flogged a person for the experiment. I guess I’ve been watching too many horror movies.

[tonyaxeman]

The section of cloth was a repair area which had been tested. This is one reason the science is wrong . One of the scientists that worked on the project said a chemical was used one the cloth which left the cloth damaged . With that if a section that had fire damage was carbon dated it would prove that it is real. The chemical that was used does not affect carbon. So why not retest I have no idea why it can not be done .

[denseone]

I’m not Christian, but I think the most impressive “relic” is Christ’s message and the faith he inspires in believers, and I believe true believers need no physical proof to make their faith anymore sincere and genuine.
