The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Our Lady
of the Angels Monastery has recently acquired a permanent exhibit of
full-size images of the Shroud of Turin. The images are located in the
anteroom of the Shrine's Lower Church.
The images were taken from the high-resolution
specialty photographs of Barrie M. Schwortz, documentary photographer
for the Shroud of Turin Research
Project. On display are 2 color positives and 2 black and white
negatives of the Shroud, each 8 ft high and 4 ft wide. To facilitate
viewing, the Shroud images at the Shrine are displayed so that the image
of the crucified man can be seen standing upright.
The Shrine is open daily to the public from 6AM to
6PM. The Daily Conventual Mass of the Nuns is at 7:00AM with Priests
available to hear Confession after
Mass. The Nuns chant the Liturgy of the Hours at 6AM, 11:30AM, and 5PM.
Pilgrimages are available for groups of 10 or more and individuals are
welcome to join in (205) 271-2986 or (256) 352-6267.
The Shrine is located about 6 miles from the intersection of Hwy. 91 and Hwy.
31 in Hanceville, Alabama. For more information go to http://olamshrine.com
