Welcome!  This is a children's book about the amazing Shroud of Turin. It has to be put in a blog because the previous websites were hacked! Therefore, it is not a traditional blog, because it will not be updated unless the basic information changes.

I want you to know that this book was approved by Barrie M. Schwortz, the official documenting photographer of the 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project. Therefore, his photographic copyrights were also paid for and approved by him. The artwork is my own, and you are free to copy and use those as you like. 

My interest in the Shroud of Turin began as a child, because my father was a USAF Lt. Colonel; he took me to see the Shroud display at the Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs. But it is no longer there. The hands-on study began with two Air Force physicists. 

If you want this as a small book, please email me at art4shroud@outlook.com. 

A more in-depth book for older kids or for beginners is available at Amazon.com. (I want to offer many thanks to Mr. Bezos and his Amazon staff!) It is called "The Shroud of Turin for Kids: An Introduction for Everyone." This also was approved by Mr. Schwortz, and it is as accurate as possible, without hearsay and speculation.

This is all done in loving memory of Barrie M. Schwortz, one of the kindest people I have ever met.

The Shroud of Turin is an ancient cloth which has been treasured and protected for hundreds--maybe even thousands--of years. It is kept in a special case in this church in Turin, Italy. The Church is called The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. What is a shroud? A shroud is a cloth used to wrap a body before burial.  The Shroud of Turin is believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth, who lived and died 2000 years ago.  It was draped over the body to cover the front and the back. In the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, it says, "When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth."  Matt. 27:59. And Mark wrote:   "He bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wr...
