Shroud of Turin

Write the first paragraph of your page here.

Secondo Pia's positive and negative photography prove this theory false.
===Anatomical correctness of the stains on the class. Proposal:image formed by vapors produced by the combination of burial ointments and sweat given off during torture. Unable to duplicate the vaporograph. ===

Modern Testing

 * Microscope Observations: Painting? 


 * Pollen detected in between the fibers 


 * “None of the pollen was glued to the cloth with tempera or covered with tempera.  This is strong evidence against the possibility of the Shroud’s being a painted fake” (Lavoie 48). 
 * Not completely consistent with plant life in the area of crucifixion.   Some argue that the pollen could have gotten on the cloth at another location. 
 * Color of cloth beneath bloodstain is white.  It is yellowed elsewhere. 
 * Linen fibers smaller than a human hair, to be a painting the artist would have needed a brush less than half the width of a human hair. 
 * Blood placement 


 * Consistent with the types of injuries that Jesus would have been victim too

Not a lot of conclusive evidence to prove whether or not The Shroud of Turin is real and/or legitimate. Just a lot of strong feelings.
