\nEaster Holiday<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis weekend we celebrate Easter.  For those in the northern hemisphere, Easter is synonymous with
\nSpring!  After a long winter season,
\nflowers and trees are blooming, birds are singing.  Easter also means bunnies and baskets of candy.  Of course, Easter has another meaning .  For Christians throughout the world it is
\nthe celebration of the Resurrection of Christ following his death by
\ncrucifixion as ordered by Pontius Pilate, the Roman prelate.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMany believe that certain textiles have intrinsic powers,
\nnot merely symbolic, that provide protection or bring good fortune.  One such textile is the Shroud of Turin.<\/div>\n
\nThe earliest legend concerns the \u201cImage of Edessa\u201d.  The king of Edessa (Turkey)<\/div>\n
\nwrote to Jesus asking him to come and cure him of leprosy.  Unable to visit, Jesus sent a miraculous
\nself-protrait imbuded with curative power. 
\nSome equate this story with the Shroud of Turin, however the shroud\u2019s  linen cloth bears the image of the entire
\nfront and back impressions of an apparently crucified man.  There has been controversy on whether this
\ntextile is the burial shroud of Jesus Christ or a medieval fabrication.  Results of carbon-dating posed the age of
\nthis textile to be no older than the 1200\u2019s. 
\nOthers suggest the actual date cannot be determined due to contamination
\nby centuries of manipulation.  The 14 \u00bd
\nfoot of linen fiber is owned by the pope, but it is in the care of the
\narchdiocese of Turin, Italy.  The Catholic
\nChurch does not make any claims toward its authenticity and has long acknowledged
\nthat there are disagreements and questions that have not been successfully
\naddressed. <\/div>\n

\nThere are other \u201cmiraculous\u201d portraits of Jesus, one of
\nwhich is known as the Veronica Veil. 
\nVeronica, it is said, was a wealthy woman of Jerusalem who witnessed the
\njourney to Golgatha that Christ made with the cross.  She wiped his face with her veil and his visage was imprinted
\nupon it.  There were many \u201coriginals\u201d of
\nthe textile and it was assumed that they had been painted, however the legend
\nasserts that the image could duplicate itself miraculously.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
