The Holy Shroud
From the studies of
Mons. Giulio Ricci,
Shroud researcher
The Shroud is a rectangular linen (m. 4,36 x 1,1), woven in a three-to-one herringbone twill composed of flax fibrils and is the most eloquent corpus delicti used by researchers to reconstruct the offensive event it shows: the death on the cross. The crucified man, before his death, has suffered under a particularly cruel flagellation, a crowning with thorns (first ever registered by researchers in a crucifixion), an upward gouge in the side caused by a spear penetrating into the thoracic cavity and at last shrouded, naked, in a linen without being previously washed and covered with resins. The integrity of the shroud testifies that the body it shrouded never knew the corruption; otherwise the shroud itself would have been damaged.

Did the Virgin Mary
really die?
The very first question that arises staring at an ancient Byzantine icon of the Dormition representing the Virgin Marys body laying on a bed and Her figure raising above it, its if this picture, painted by a Mount Athos monk, indented to represent, with such a little convincing patterns, only Her Soul or Her entire Body as well. A religious inexperienced viewer would have his attention attracted by the abstract symbolism, while the pious viewer looking for cheap experiences would be contradicted by the archaic verism of the Virgin laying on a bed on the verge on expiring, like an ordinary woman.

To Baby Jesus
Stars Street
Heaven
Im here at the church, just for curiosity, to see you in the crib in a moment when nobody is in.
I need to ask you some questions. I know that during your life you had a lot of troubles and some of yours dont skimped criticism, malicious questions and bad opinion about your actions. But why when you do good you are always insulted? THE HUMAN HISTORY IS ALWAYS THE SAME!
