Turin Shroud: Insights’ Review Confirming Biblical Reports About Etiology of Jesus Christ’s Death and Resurrection
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Various new reports have been published on the blood found on the TS (Turin Shroud).These publications both confirm and improve past hypotheses regarding the particular physical state of Jesus during His last twenty hours before dying.The various accompanying pathologies such as orthostatic collapse, asphyxia, uremia and hemothorax, are accentuated by the insult that produced a high-stress heart disease.Considered individually, the pathologies would have led to death; however, tamponade due to hemopericardium was the primary cause of Jesus' death.Further, specific analyses of the bloodstains coupled with other characteristics such as rigor mortis and the absence of putrefaction, allowed the author to establish what happened to the body of Jesus after being taken from the cross, wrapped in the TS and placed in the sepulcher.The analysis also revealed some facts that are inexplicable from a scientific point of view and suggested a phenomenon related to the transparency of the matter.The study supports Catholic Religion belief and therefore, arrives at the hypothesis of the phenomenon of the Resurrection to explain what was experimentally detected on the TS.This analysis also provided a physical interpretation of the dogma of faith in the Virginity of the Mother of God.
