Thanks for answering, sounds like it was wonderful moment. I don't KNOW if the Shroud is authentic but I would LIKE for it to be. I will be disappointed if it is ever proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is not. It doesn't matter as far as my faith in Jesus is concerned because that faith is strong, I would just like for it to be the real thing. Does that make sense?

I agree - doesn't matter if it is Christ's shroud; however, I do know there has never been a reproduction of it even using today's science.

As an aside, after the 1988 testing, it was shown the tested material was a part of the "repaired" section. Later, using a small remaining "clean" piece it was carbon tested to be from the period of Christ. The fact this was done by a non-believer makes it even more substantial.

So I believe it is truly the shroud that covered Christ when he was resurrected but my faith in Him goes way deeper.

Many were crucified but how many wore a crown of thorns?

Believing the shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ does not impact one's faith.
