Who is the man of the Shroud?

The exhibit promotes Story and “offers an opportunity to continue the dialogue between Science and Faith.” The exhibit is also intended for those who have a spiritual interest in the Shroud and who wish to know more about its value, its authenticity, its meaning, and its message. The virtual exhibit begins on March 28, 2022 and will be available till April 20.
