Sacred Relic Or Fraud?
The Shroud of Turin ignites passion and controversy whenever it is discussed.To some, the Shroud is a sacred relic and a powerful symbol of the day Jesus Christ died.To others, it is a fraud.This CBS primetime network special challenges the old data, considers new DNA evidence and re-examines the connection between the cloth and the events.It asks questions: What can the blood remaining on the cloth tell us about the man?What can the cloth tell us about its purpose?Is there evidence on the image?Is there confirmation in the archeological record?Experts in archeology, DNA textiles and microbiology debate the issues while amazing 3-D computer reconstruction provides us with a definitive interpretation of what the Man of the Shroud looked like.
