It Is Easter Sunday Again

Rebecca, became a Christian after her own supposition which none in the research team dared to oppose. So today we have a relic that  leaves  the  Christian world with  memoirs  of not only the passion,  death and Resurrection of Jesus, but even the institution of the Eucharist. The Shroud is now resting in a reliquary at the cathedral of John the baptizer in Turin. Among those who have paid their reverence to the Shroud  are, King Louie of France in 1147, and St. Charles Borrommeo  in 1578. In 1978 the whole world saw it on TV for the first time.  The Shroud is eloquent testimony of Jesus’s passion too and  shows  the wounds suffered by Him at the flagellation, the head injuries caused by the crown of thorns and  even the  two wounds on the shoulders caused by the cross beam.  The Empty Tomb and the Shroud of Turin are the legacies left by Jesus for posterity and belief in His salvific death.  But Christians do not need an Empty Tomb or a Shroud to believe in His Resurrection. It is that single event that brought Christianity to the world. Even Muslims and other non Christians believe in the Glorious Resurrection of Jesus Christ who died so that man could be reconciled back to his God. The resurrection is a sure sign of our own rising from the dead one day and it is the confirmation of our Everlasting Life.  A Happy Easter to you.
