Turin Shroud Wrapped 'Torture Victim'.

Researchers in Italy analyzing the world-famous Shroud of Turin, which some believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, have discovered that the relic carries the blood of a torture victim.
Elvio Carlino, a researcher at the Institute of Crystallography, said last week in an article for Catholic News Agency that the small particles analyzed "have recorded a scenario of great suffering, whose victim was wrapped up in the funeral cloth."
The nanoparticles in question have a peculiar structure, size and distribution, which are not typical of the blood of a healthy person.
The particles showed high levels of substances called creatinine and ferritin, which are found in patients who have suffered multiple traumas like torture.
"Hence, the presence of these biological nanoparticles found during our experiments point to a violent death for the man wrapped in the Turin Shroud," University of Padua professor Giulio Fanti said.
The findings from the research were published on June 30 in the U.S. scientific journal PlosOne. The  article is titled "New Biological Evidence from Atomic Resolution Studies on the Turin Shroud." CP.
Just so you know. I have no belief in the Turin Shroud as a genuine article. God does not use relics.
