Host: Sheryl Glick R.M.T.
Special Guest: Mark Antonacci
I am your host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit a tale of spiritual awakenings, spiritual communication and energy miracles and a guide to your intuitive soul nature and today am delighted to welcome Mark Antonacci author of Test the Shroud which supports the theory that 21st century atomic and molecular level testing proves the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus also proving for some who have even questioned the very existence of Jesus.
Listeners of Healing From Within are well aware that Sheryl and her guests search the metaphysical realm to understand more completely Who we are? Where we come from? and What is the purpose for a physical life? For those who explore these questions we often find the intuitive connection to Universal Energy and to all soul life here and beyond, and begin to know that we are indeed spiritual beings having a physical life mainly for the purpose of remembering our energetic soul life and to re-experience situations that can help us embrace greater love and compassion.
Attorney Mark Antonacci who is a leading expert on the Shroud and founder/president of the Test The Shroud foundation, has the backing of several well known scientists around the world and wishes to petition the Vatican for new tests to be conducted. If this burial shroud, The Shroud of Turin was tested at the atomic and molecular levels several key events in history could be known and would refute the controversial C-14 dating performed on the cloth in 1988. These advanced scientific techniques could demonstrate whether such a miraculous event- the resurrection of Christ occurred and also when it happened: where it happened: what the actual age of this cloth is and more about its bloodstains: and the identity of the victim.
Many others now and in the past have been interested in Jesus’ shroud. Because of its antiquity it almost seems like a miracle that it is still intact. Mark wrote “We stand at a unique moment in history. Because of the advancement of modern scientific technology, people throughout the world can finally answer some of the most fundamental questions of life that have perplexed generations of human history. Among the questions that could be answered are the existence, nature and identity of God, and whether the passion, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ occurred exactly as these events are described in the Gospels. These and other foundational questions have never been satisfactorily or universally answered before because objective and independent evidence relating to these questions has never been known to exist. For the first time ever, we can now answer these questions with extensive and tangible evidence that has only been discovered relatively recently even though this evidence has actually existed for centuries. However, much more objective and irrefutable evidence could be acquired from this same source.”
Antonacci views this as a religious, scientific and legal issue and proof of the authenticity of the existence of Jesus and clarification of the historical events at that time in the Middle East. Test The Shroud is Antonacci’s second book on the topic, as in 2000 he released his first project, The Resurrection of the Shroud. It was during the research of the earlier publication that Antonacci, who was an Agnostic at the time, embraced Christianity as the unprecedented evidence on the Shroud independently confirmed the occurrence of the most critical series of events in human history.

It is believed the Shroud of Turin was first discovered in the 14th century although There are no definite historical records concerning the particular shroud currently at Turin Cathedral prior to the 14th century. A burial cloth, which some historians maintain was the Shroud, was owned by the Byzantine emperors but disappeared during the Sack of Constantinople in 1204.
