In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold will discuss the Shroud of Turin.
The Gospels record for us that there was a burial cloth that covered the body of Jesus Christ in the tomb. St. Matthew (27:59) tells us: “And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb.” St. Mark (15:46) likewise says: “And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulcher which was hewed out of a rock.” St. John (19:40) says: “They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.” He mentions that he saw this linen cloth again when he ran with Peter to the empty tomb on Easter Sunday: “He (Peter) saw the linen cloths lying, and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself” (Jn 20:6-8).
