     On Sunday, March 8, at 1:00 P.M. in the Church Hall, Sacred Heart parishioners Ellen Russell and Stephen Corvini will give a presentation on the Shroud of Turin.
     The Shroud, a very old burial cloth that for centuries has been kept in the Cathedral in Turin, is famous for bearing the image of a crucified man.  This has led to many questions about the cloth and the figure on it, while the attempt to find answers has led to many arguments and theories, as well as much research and testing.  The speakers will summarize the most  important of these efforts.
     So far, however, no one has been able to produce an indisputable answer to the greatest questions about the Shroud: is this the burial cloth of Jesus, and is the image a true likeness of Him?  On those points, individuals must decide for themselves what they believe.
     But even if it were to be proved beyond doubt that the Shroud was a work of art, rather than a “selfie” of the Savior, it would still be worthwhile to learn about and reflect on it, especially during Lent, since the Shroud illustrates so vividly what crucifixion was like.  We therefore gladly invite all to join us for this talk and light refreshments.
     Ellen Russell is a retired history teacher.  She holds a B.A. from the College of Mount Saint Vincent, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Fordham University.  Stephen Corvini is a physical therapist. He received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Manhattanville College, and doctorate in physical therapy from New York Medical College.
