It is an exact replica of the Shroud of Turin. On loan from the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Marytown, Illinois, the exhibit travels throughout the country.
The exhibit presents the results of a comprehensive scientific, historical and forensic study with 92 panels of photographs and illustrations. The exhibit is the work of the Center for the Study of the Passion of Christ and the Holy Shroud. Monsignor Giulio Ricci and other scientist spent more than 25 years researching the Holy Shroud. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a full length replica of the Holy Shroud. The replica shows the front and back of the shroud. In addition, the mobile exhibit contains a large (almost life sized) crucified corpus showing the wounds of Christ corresponding to the passion narrative in the Gospel accounts and the wounds shown on the Shroud. The exhibit contains 92 panel detailing the history and science of the shroud. It is truly non-denominational, unbiased and free to the public.
