my diocese live the official pilgrimage to the Shroud. I could not take part for reasons of work (well understand ...), but I take this opportunity to point out three interesting short articles that I found online recently.
1. Shroud, age back to a mystery of Andrea turnstiles
"Our study, based on statistical and mathematical calculations, proves beyond doubt that the carbon-14 dating performed in 1988 on the Shroud was not reliable and the experiment should have been repeat. " The Journal says the Professor Giulio Fanti, professor of Measures mechanical and thermal stresses at the University of Padova, author of numerous books and research dedicated to the shroud exposed these days in Turin. Fanti, along with three other colleagues - Marco Riani University of Parma, Fabio Crosilla University of Udine and Anthony C. Atkinson of the London School of Economics - has just signed an article about Sis Magazine, oline of the Italian Society of Statistics (www.sis-statistica.it/magazine) in which it demonstrates the unreliability of the results produced by the three laboratories in Zurich , Oxford and Tucson, which in 1988 came to the technique of radiocarbon dating of samples taken from one corner of the Shroud linen cloth, stipulating that it traced back to an age between 1260 and 1390. A result that contrasts with much other evidence, clues, evidence, from which however it is clear that the cloth wrapped the corpse of a man crucified by the Romans in the first century, in a perfectly coincides with the description of the Passion of Jesus contained in the Gospels .Read the article here and here.

Because documents - I would say scientifically - the only news - the dawn of time at the end of the world - is really important: the death of the Son of God and His resurrection that is the defeat of death itself.
3. The Shroud, a sign that speaks to you of Joseph Ghiberti
Besides the problems with dating and the formation of the image, which it is called to investigate the science, it remains impressive for the believer the correspondence between the novel "the Shroud" and story "Gospel" to the point that the fact-sheet of the image easily lost in the face value which refers to the story of Man crucified. The discourse on the shroud is passionate because it brings him to talk about Jesus is at stake.
