The Way Of The Cross In The Light Of The Holy Shroud
by Msgr. Giulio Ricci
Can we definitely prove the authenticity of the Shroud? Certainly we can exclude the theory that it was the result of a forger’s paintbrush, or of some kind of experiment, since it bears clear witness of a real scourging, a real crowning with thorns, a real crucifixion, and a real spear wound in the side of the dead body. The burial was mysteriously cut short: the perfect transfer of blood onto the fabric, which takes place “when the fibrin is half-dissolved, neither before not after,” goes to prove that the process of fibrinolysis, which takes place within a precise timespan, was interrupted after a certain number of hours of contact.
We shall be able to conclude that the Man of the Shroud is that Jesus spoken of by the evangelists if, in addition to the above-mentioned data, we shall be able to confirm that it is real blood which has kept its typical faded carmine mauve coloration because of the presence of aloes and myrrh in a sheet which has been subjected to intense heat (experiments by Vignon and others), and if the process of fibrinolysis will explain the perfect transfer of coagulated or set blood within the the precise timespan of the provisional burial. Experiments seem to confirm these points. Also, certain phenomena cannot be reproduced with a brush–for example the results of the negative photographic plate, and of three-dimensional photography (experiments by Jackson and Jumper).
The authenticity of the Shroud is a question open to discussion, but today, more than ever before, the advanced techniques of scientific research, brought to bear on this most precious document, offer an immediate perception of the historicity of the Gospel narratives to those restless souls of our generation, so eager, though often unconsciously, to meet HIM, Jesus Christ…the Man of the Shroud.
Msgr. Giulio Ricci, President of the Roman Center for the Study of the Passion of Christ and the Holy Shroud and of a similar organization in the USA, demonstrates that “the Man of the Shroud is Jesus.” Basing his research on the sciences, he came to this conclusion after an exhaustive examination of the internal evidence of the Holy Shroud, thus introducing us to a new, realistic vision of the central events of the Christian faith, which find detailed and dramatic confirmation in this precious archeological document.
