From the Crusades to Kashmir
Since 1969, Professor Max Frie, an expert on criminology famous and served
as Director of the Laboratory of Police of Zurich, has examined
"Shroud" of Turin to study pollen attached to it, and, after years of
holding analyzing carefully and thoroughly with using the latest modern
equipment, can finally find a detailed picture of the history and origins of
the Shroud. In particular he had found the seeds are very small consisting of
grains that have been fossilized. After holding thorough testing, it turns out
these grains derived from plants that are only in Palestine about 20 centuries
ago. From these results he is now no doubt to the authenticity of the Shroud
cloth which also was carrying former seeds of plants in the area around
Constantinople and the Mediterranean Sea. Grains consisting of fifteen kinds of
different herbs have been found also in the Shroud, namely, six are from
Palestine, one of the areas Constantinople, while eight kinds again came from
the area around the Mediterranean Sea.
Conclusions from the study that began in 1969 and the order of the Church,
noted by a press has been deployed beginning in 1976 said:
"After seven years of research conducted on the shroud that wraps the
body (of Christ), many scholars to the conclusion that Jesus has brought to the
cemetery in a state still alive. Experts corroborate that statement, that the
Holy Shroud is kept in Turin the diselimutkan to the body of the crucified,
namely, the suffering quite the same as what was suffered by Jesus, but it was
stated that, the person who was crucified did not die on the cross,
dikemakamkan but while he was still alive. Twenty-eight were blood stains on
the fabric that prove this. The researchers assure us that the bodies were
wrapped in a shroud would surely not have that kind of blood flow. Jesus
dikemakamkan in a state still alive, if not, then there must be Jesus' second
coming and he has similarly suffered face sakaratulmaut ".
Concerning the records of the Shroud
of Turin is back to the ninth century, when it was in Jerusalem. In the twelfth
century in Constatinople, and in 1474, after a short time in Belgium, the cloth
belonged Safety House. The fabric was damaged by fire in 1532 and three years
later moved to Turin. From 1536 until 1578 was transferred to Vercelli, then to
Milan, then to Nice and back again to Vercelli, then to Chambrey, then returned
to Turin in 1706 (the year that the fabric was transferred to Geneva in the
near future ). In 1946, Hubert II of the Salvation Army was entrusted to the
Bishop of the Shroud of Turin to be treated, but without properly submitted to
the owner of the cloth.
The first photos of the Shroud was
acquired in 1898. The official photos were taken by G. entry in 1931 when it
began a review of the fabric.
The size of the Shroud are: width of
3 feet 7 inches (110 cm) and a length of 14 feet 3 inches (436 cm). In the
opinion of Mr. Ricci, a technical expert in the Vatican, the body imprint on
the Shroud shows the measuring body height of 5 feet 4 inches (162 cm). But
Professor Lorenzo Ferri, a sculptor from Rome, had measured the length of the
body is covered with a cloth that is nearly 6 feet 2 inches (187 cm).
In 1957, Kurt Berna book entitled
"Jesus nicht am Kreuz gestorben" (Jesus did not die on the cross)
appears. Berna is a Catholic and the Secretary of the German Institute in
Stuttgart, which since the circulation of photos G. entry, has been studied
intensively Shroud. The results of the review have been widely disseminated by
Berna itself in the form of two books, namely: "Das Linen" (Shroud)
and "Jesus nicht am kreuz gestorben". These books, especially the
latter, at the time of distribution was appalling and the scene of a conflict
that was fantastic.
On February 26, 1959, Berna wrote a
letter to Pope John XXIII begging him to form a committee of doctors to
investigate the Shroud, and the goal is to end the controversy over the issue.
The first petition was rejected,
directly through the Pope's envoy in Germany; but in 1969, the Vatican formed a
committee whose results we have seen in advance before, that the conclusion is
the same as what was intended by Berna.
The following is a letter to Pope
John Berna:
His Excellency,
Two years ago, the Research
Institute of the Holy Shroud Germany have presented the results of a review of
the Shroud is kept in Turin to inform you, and society at large.
During duapupuh four months ago, the
different experts from various universities in Germany have sought to justify
not inventions that remarkable, but they failed. However, they argue that
science enables them to easily not justify our conclusions, but finally they
admitted defeat and now they are back and even agree to acknowledge the
validity of this study; and indeed it is important for the two religions,
namely Judaism and Christianity. Kirangan very excessive and out of place here
to mention how many comments that arise in various international mass media.
Because nobody can deny the sure
results of these studies, the Institute convinced that these discoveries will
lead an open challenge to the entire world. It has been proven conclusively
that Jesus Christ had been laid on the Shroud, after the crucifixion and the
lifting of the crown of thorns.
Study-study has been set so sure
that the body of the person who was crucified was already covered with a cloth
and left for some time. From the standpoint of medical science, it has been
proven that the body was laid on the Shroud did not die because the heart was
still beating. Traces of blood flow, and naturally these circumstances, provided
scientific evidence that the so-called death penalty was really not perfect.
This finding illustrates that what
was taught Christians today as well as the former is not true.
My lord, this is the testimony of
science. It can not be denied, that the study of the Holy Shroud is now very
important meaning, since it involves knowledge (science) and historical
evidence. Photographs of the Holy Shroud that had been prepared in 1931 with
the permission of Pope Pius XI firm, add the full repertory to prove whether or
not the results of the current study. To prove if it was not true, then here is
imperative suggests the following tests: a). using modern chemistry experiment
(analyzed by miscroscope and with such a study-study) on bekasbekas dripping
blood contained in the Holy Shroud generated by tugs heart is still beating.
b). testing using the rays "X" and the infra-red and ultra-violet
rays and by using more modern methods. c). recorded with an atomic clock
apparatus and method of carbon 14.
To analyze the shroud to the right,
only needed 300 grams. This will not damage the Holy Shroud, it only requires a
swatch 2 cm width of the fabric, which fabric was 4.36 meters long. In this
way, the important parts of the fabric that will not be broken down entirely.
There are no Christians in this world, except of course, as a Pope Paduka
Church, who can take care of the sacred heirlooms. The results of the review of
the Institute and other agencies that can only be refused if the tests
organized science. I do not understand why the Church does not want to give
permission to the study-reviewers for the Holy Shroud. I do not believe that it
will lead the Church was afraid: Why is this? Institutions also should not be
afraid, because it suggests study-study sincere and holy, he used the methods
of force. With full confidence, we can state that nobody even in this world
that can not justify the findings, which pose an open challenge to the
Institute.
As has been described, simply by
showing the truth of the facts and analyzes science alone that can complement
the expected results.
Given this remarkable study, we
humbly ask the lord to give her attention, so the Church can bring the matter
to a conclusion. Some followers of the Church and other communities they are
ready to answer the call when the Church is pleased.
On behalf of the Research Institute
of the Holy Shroud Germany and colleagues who are interested in this study, we,
as a Roman Catholic, to have begged Her Majesty to grant permission it is
because of the importance of evidence that might be gained.
Sincerely in Her Majesty.
Kurt Berna,
Writer and secretary of the Catholic
Affairs of the German Research
Institute
Before discussing the life of Jesus
after the wound healed of the cross, I will highlight one view of the
conclusions reached by Berna in the book.
Berna said, the analysis reveals
that a shroud, his head and hands of Jesus is placed higher than the location
of the body. Suppose Jesus had died when wrapped in the shroud, then this means
that there can be no fresh blood flowing in these parts that leave marks on the
shroud. Therefore, Berna retains its establishment, that the cloth was left
traces of blood flowing from the wounds caused by the crown of thorns placed by
the Romans around the head of Jesus, who derided as "King of the
Jews", then once the body was derived from the cross and the
"crown" that was removed, the wounds caused by thorns began to bleed.
If Jesus had died at the time, then all the blood must have frozen in the
bottom body. It is a law of nature, as long as the heart is constantly pumping,
the blood will continue to circulate even though under vacuum. If at that time
the heart stops beating, the blood will stop circulating and will begin to
return to the veins, blood vessels in the skin surface will soon dry up, and in
such a pallor of death will appear in the body. So, definitely fresh blood will
not flow from the wounds in his head, if his heart stopped beating, this is
medical evidence that Jesus did not die when he was wrapped in the shroud.
Maybe he was not breathing and it seemed like the dead; but when the heart
still beating, in such circumstances, a person can live again with intensive
medical care.
The thin line on the shroud showed
blood from the wounds the hand that nailed flows along the right arm when the
nail was removed. Seen, that the blood was fresh and wet shroud, this adds full
proof, that the heart of Jesus is still alive when he descended from the cross.
Shroud it also adds to the full
evidence which the Roman soldier spear used to test whether he is dead or not,
he is stuck and falling off his body. Traces of blood showed that the spear
through the chest to the right, between the ribs were the fifth and sixth and
break through to the upper left arm and makes an angle of 20 degrees.
Therefore, the lance passing near the heart but did not hurt him, "blood
and water" expressed in the Gospel of John (19:34) gave evidence to us,
that blood was flowing from the wounds and not from the heart. This shows that
the heart is still throbbing though weak, and therefore he was still alive.
But Paul notes and make the doctrine
that Jesus died on the cross and then rose again, and this is reinforced by the
doctrine of the Christian Church. By reason of this, the results of research
Shroud was made of the Church at all difficult, and consequently on June 30,
1960, Pope John XXII issued edicts which printed the Vatican newspaper
"L'Osservatore Romano" on July 2, with the title: "Safety
Perfect Body of Jesus Christ". In this case the Pope told the Catholic
bishops who recognize and spread the news of this, that the perfect salvation
of mankind is a direct
