Explore the Mystery of The Shroud of Turin at Curé of Ars | |
|
Shroud Encounter is a dramatic big screen experience and in-depth exploration into the mysteries of the Shroud of Turin. Using a CSI approach, audiences are taken on a thought-provoking adventure through early church history, ancient art, modern science, and medical forensics. Could the Shroud be the most important archaeological artifact ever found, or is it just a medieval fake? Does it provide clues to what happened during the crucifixion and resurrection, or is it just a pious artwork created to represent these events? After thousands of hours of scientific analysis, the Shroud remains a profound mystery. Join us for this presentation on October 13 at 6:30 pm in the church.
