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.
