One thought on “St. Matthew Today for August 2nd, 2023”
The carbon dating of the Shroud to the middle ages was because a convent of Nuns did some reweaving to repair some fire damage suffered in the middle ages. Damage was most severe around the edges of the Shroud. The sample provided by the Roman Church was from the edges as they were not willing to compromise the image itself. New and better methods of age dating have been developed since that testing that don’t involve destruction of the material as the Carbon 14 method does. There is no question in my mind that the Shroud is genuine. The amount of power involved in generating that image is staggering. No wonder the Temple Guards didn’t stick around.
