The Shroud Of Turin

St. Catherine allegedly was given the stigmata, but like her ring, it was visible only to herself. She took Bl. Raymond of Capua has her confessor and spiritual

After many years of devotion to our Lord, Saint Francis of Assisi received the stigmata, the markings on the body in the same places Jesus got his during the Crucifixion. This was an external symbol that showed the world what this man had done for those who have no

Besides Coleman Silk, the major charater of The Human Stain. By my own opinion, the most interesting charatcer too.

1. The art works of the artist Giotto that I chose was the Kiss of Judas. It is 6'6 3/4" by 6' 7/8" in size. It is located on the south wall of the Scrovegni Chapel, Padua. It is dated through 1305 and 1306. The medium used for the art work is called fresco.

I believe that the shroud is not the real burial cloth of Jesus. One reason for this is because research that a man named Charles Freeman did shows that the cloth looks very different today than it did in the 17th century. An engraving done in 1613 by Antonio Tempesta shows that originally, the images found on the shroud were much more pronounced. Some of the features visible in this engraving, such as the Crown of Thorns and the loincloth, are no longer visible when one looks at the shroud today. Another reason for this opinion is that there has been no discovery of significant evidence that the shroud existed before 1355, which is when it appeared in a chapel being advertised as Christ’s burial shroud. The granddaughter of the chapel’s owner,

was believed that, they had an effect on the actual blood itself. This was due to the bright red

First, the reading states that the breaking of fossilized leg bone revealed many small branching channels inside, which probably blood vessels. The professor counters this point by saying that the bacteria is the most probably the formed these traces of organic materials, which they are soft and moist residue.

The Shroud of Turin is a centuries- old linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered from physical harm in a fashion resembling Roman crucifixion. This image, in accordance with the belief of millions, is the imprint of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. However, there is much indecision over its authenticity. Science has not yet come to a conclusion on the legitimacy of the Shroud. This paper will present the evidence for both the Shroud of Turin’s authenticity (that it was the burial cloth of Jesus), and the reasons for the belief for its possible forgery.

The mummies curse did not simply originate from one rumor or one story, it originated from a conglomeration of a variety of different sources each with a different version of the tale. One story that was influential in the establishment of the curse was the story of Douglas Murray and his mummy case, with the painting of the image of a priestess of Amen-Ra in the 1860s, that brought death and misfortune to all that came into contact with the story retaining its notability through the Victorian era to the early twentieth century. The second rumor originated from the death of Walter Ingram whose father founded the Illustrated London New in 1842 where, soon after his death, the newspaper became one of the most influential media outputs

The British Museum (Link 2-a) acquired his 1,600 year old Roman glass cup in 1950. When kept under light, it looks jade-green on one side and blood-from another. This piece of art puzzled scholars for many years, when finally in 1990, they were able to reveal the cause behind this double minded political nature of the cup. While examining the scrapings under the microscope, its glass was found to contain nanoparticles (Link 2-b) of gold and silver. These particles were around 50 nanometers in diameter. Nanoparticles are capable of emitting different colors in different directions, called as dichroic effect. This raised further questions. How the Roman experts were able to achieve

Olsen goes on to ask important questions when it comes to the Templars’ relationship with Abraxas, such as why the Templars used the Abraxas seal and did the Order use it like Lamy suggested? And if they did use it, was it utilized by an inner secret circle of Templars? Olsen also mentions a mysterious text called the Levitikon, which is probably written in the early 1800’s which presents Jesus as an initiate of the Egyptian higher mysteries, just as Simon Magus is depicted in the Clementines. Further onward, Olsen writes (p. 123):

The Triumph of Bacchus, is a beautifully, well thought out oil based painting created in 1635. An artist named Nicolas Poussin put his mind to work, and in the essay I am going to show that. Firstly, starting with just a general description of the painting, and some background from the artist himself. Secondly, go into the formal elements of the painting, how it came to life, what’s happening in the picture, and how everything was applied with all reasoning. Then lastly, conclude with everything covered, and how the painting was created.

The piece of art is a statue that portrays Jesus’ body laying on his mother Mary’s laps at the time after the crucifixion having been removed from the cross (Lewis & Lewis, 2008) which is evidenced by the marks of small nails and the indication of the wound located in Jesus’ side. It revolves around the major theme of Northern origin which during that time was present in France but not in Italy. According to (St. Peters Basilica, 2009) Michelangelo offered a unique interpretation of the pieta to the models since it is a significant piece of work that balances the ideals of a new beginning incorporated in typical beauty and a touch of naturalism which is illustrated by the relationship exhibited by the figures. This is made possible by his skill to prove to both the viewers and himself of the supernatural beauty.

These findings as well as findings in layer 1 and layer 5, figure 3.3, in the western mound, seem to add some support of the Brothers of the Abby Church of St. Vincent of finding the tomb of their patron saint. While not necessarily the bones of a saint, there is indication of Roman occupation/ activity of the site. Labeled a and e in layer 7 of Figure 3.2 of the eastern mound, a is a fragment of bronze, highly polished on one side, inscribed “Avgvsta” and e a fragment of glass that is undated and unsourced. In the western mound, figure 3.3 in layer 1 a Roman coin of Constantine the Great dating between 288-337. Also in the western mound in figure 3.3 labeled g, 18 sherds of early Medieval pottery from about 1200 AD. The western mound is viewed and excavated at the road that was cut into the barrow in 1136. Evidence of this being of the work in the building of the church is seen in the pottery from this time period. There seems to be a possibility of the brothers stumbling on a Roman burial in their activities. It is to note that there is claims that the burial uncovered was contained in a sepulcher of marble carved with scenes from the life of Christ and inscribed VINCENZO VIVATIS IN CHRISTO. According to Brother Wilfrid in a letter this burial and stones from it were moved to under the alter in the nave of the church. In an interesting study of the bones and relics with the bones could shed light in if the site did at one point contain a Roman era burial. There is a shadow of doubt concerning the burial as described due to the era’s relic trade and need to draw pilgrims to the church to help with their income. Research in the Roman, burial practices after Constantine the Great’s conversion to Christianity should also be research. In the final layers, layer 1 in figures 3.2 and figure 3.3 of both sides of the barrow are now covered with modern topsoil showing no more

Thailand is an increasingly growing country, with about 60% of the population involved in agriculture (Subhadrabandhu). In the past few decades it has been making its transition from agricultural based to an industrialized economy has raised concerns to an environmental degradation. The increasing level of pollution, particularly in the city area causing numerous problems along the way in the past recent years. With level of life expectancy dropped, health defects and an increasing number of mortality rates. The pollution includes air, water, and noise pollution. With vehicle emissions and forest fire being among one of the most to cause air pollution. In 2012, a legislation called First Time Car Buyer Tax Rebate Program has been launched. It has been critiqued for being a huge part of an increasing traffic jams, stretched finances and most importantly the side effect on publics health. The program was originally aimed for people who are using motorcycles to switch to cars. Also to boost the automobile industries that has dropped since 2011 after the flood in Thailand. With the boost of the industry, many automotive companies which already have their facilities manufacture and assemble their cars in Thailand. This causes the level of emission and industrial wastewater to rise. The increase number of cars and factories also mean the higher level of noise pollution. Which in human not only causes annoyance, if being exposed for a long period of time can cause
