My money is on it being the real deal. And if not, it should go down in history as an incredible work of medieval technical mastery of a still unknown medium.

What about the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, by the way?

A messianic Jew is usually a Jew who believes that the messiah has already come.

A non-messianic Jew would believe that the messiah has not yet come.

I visited the Shroud Exhibition brought to Auckland by Barrie Schwortz some years ago. Barrie originally became interested in the Shroud as he was the official photographer either for a magazine article or at the time of the carbon dating investigation – sorry I can’t remember which). Interesting is the fact that he describes himself as a “non-messianic Jew” (what does that mean – can anyone shed some light?) and he believes totally in the validity of the shroud. He is now resident in Australia and you can visit his website. It was fascinating and humbling to lisen to an American Jew – a non Christian defending the authenticity of the winding cloth of Our Lord to the goodly number of aggressively hostile non-believers

My gut feeeling, having read something about the shroud, is that it is quite possibly authentic.

I’m not sure it really matters either way.

Even if it’s just an icon of Christ, he’s really present in his icons and ought to be venerated just as much as if the shroud really was the authentic burial cloth.

God Bless
