Shroud of Turin International Conference

St. Louis, Missouri
October 9 - 12, 2014

Website:  http://www.stlouisshroudconference.com

 

A unique chance to learn new discoveries about the Shroud of Turin, and to participate in discussions with world experts, scientists and scholars on this ever-intriguing topic.

St. Louis Shroud Conference 2014 is an international gathering of renowned Shroud experts, scientists, followers and enthusiasts organized by the St. Louis committee of Shroud sindonologists and generously sponsored by local and international businesses, organizations and non-profit groups.

The conference will introduce and examine new research and events since the 2008 Shroud conference in Columbus, Ohio, including books, scientific papers, articles in the popular press, the exhibition of the Shroud in 2010, the televised exposition of the Shroud in 2013, and the upcoming exhibition of the Shroud in 2015.
The conference will take place at Drury Plaza Inn, at 355 Chesterfield Center, St. Louis, Missouri 63017, between October 9 and 12, 2014.
The first presentation will start on Thursday at 7 PM on Thursday and the last event will end at noon on Sunday.

The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth, about 14 feet long by 3½ feet wide, that bears the image of a crucified man. The twill is a 3-over-1 herringbone weave. It is bloodstained and shows faint front and back images of a man who, by the visible wounds, appears to have been crucified. He seems to be resting in burial repose. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. The ongoing debate is trying to determine if it really is the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forgery, a hoax perpetrated by some clever artist? Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed study and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today than we ever have before.
