00:00Jesus Christ, a character who changed the course of history and of which, however, there was no physical trace left.
00:16Or did they?
00:20It took more than a thousand years until a piece of cloth appeared in Europe.
00:25In it, the image of a man who suffered the same wounds as Jesus during his crucifixion is distinguished.
00:33The Sudario of Turin.
00:39This is the real Sudario with which Jesus was buried, or a montage.
00:46It could very well be a detective story. It is a case of a scientific detective.
00:53Just thinking about the possibility that an archaeological remains show that Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected from the dead
01:05is one of the most transcendental moments in human history.
01:23The Enigmas of Jesus Christ.
01:29The Sudario of Turin.
01:32Turin, northern Italy.
01:38The most famous religious relic in the world, the Sudario of Turin, is located in a chapel built specifically in the city's cathedral.
01:47The canvas that many believe enveloped the body of Jesus of Nazareth almost 2,000 years ago.
01:57Protected by a shielded glass, the rectangular cloth of just half a meter is such a precious and valuable object that it is only shown to the public on rare occasions.
02:07The last time it was exposed in 2010, more than two million people went to see the Sudario of Turin.
02:17The Sudario is fascinating because it condenses all the experience of the Passion of Jesus into a single object.
02:24For believers, it is not just a relic. It is the proof of the resurrection of Jesus from among the dead.
02:31Some people believe that the image of the Sudario of Turin was produced by radiation at the time of the resurrection.
02:38That would be a physical proof of the resurrection of Jesus.
02:43Nothing can be more important than that.
02:47For millions of people, the Sudario is not just the proof of the death and resurrection of Jesus, but the only record of what it was like.
02:54The Gospels do not contain any physical description of Christ. None.
02:59We don't know what he looked like. We don't know how tall he was.
03:04We don't know what color his eyes were.
03:08But he had a face. He was a real person.
03:13He was a man of God.
03:16He was a man of God.
03:19He was a man of God.
03:21He was a real person.
03:25It fulfills a kind of temptation.
03:28A temptation to establish the face of Christ.
03:32To find out how he really was.
03:35What did the Son of God look like?
03:37Jesus of Nazareth
03:44Like thousands of pilgrims, Jesus arrived in Jerusalem a week before his death for the Jewish Easter Festival.
03:56A few days later, he would be betrayed by Jews.
04:00Jesus of Nazareth!
04:03No!
04:05He was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane after an altercation with the authorities and led before the Romans to be judged and crucified.
04:24At that moment, the story of the Sudario begins.
04:27In the four Gospels, it speaks of the mortuary with which the body of Christ was wrapped for his burial.
04:36The Bible says that it was Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish Council, who provided the shroud.
04:49In the Gospels, Joseph of Arimathea is described as a follower of the movement of Jesus Christ.
04:57He was fascinated by Jesus.
04:59So fascinated that even in spite of the crucifixion,
05:02he wanted to make sure that things were done correctly,
05:05and that Jesus was properly buried.
05:11Anyone who encountered Christ or his teachings would undergo a transformation.
05:15Either they were healed, or they wanted to follow him.
05:18The simple fact of seeing Jesus, even if it was only once,
05:21was a change, and that was probably what changed Joseph's life.
05:28But in order to take Jesus down from the cross,
05:31first Joseph had to obtain permission.
05:37He went to the Roman prosecutor of Judea, Poncio Pilatos, to claim the body.
05:46Poncio Pilatos is a central figure in the history of Passion,
05:49because only he, as the Roman prosecutor of Judea,
05:52could sentence someone to death.
05:55So it is he who is responsible for the crucifixion and the death of Jesus.
06:01What brings you here, Rabbi?
06:04Pilatos is known for his anti-Semitism.
06:07He doesn't like the Jews, he doesn't like being in Judea.
06:12Jesus of Nazareth.
06:15I come to ask for your body.
06:18I wonder what Joseph was thinking.
06:21He was taking quite a risk,
06:23presenting himself before Pilatos to claim the body of a convicted criminal,
06:27a criminal who is guilty of political sedition.
06:32I have a grave, in a discreet place, a place where I can accommodate his body.
06:39Presenting himself before Pilatos and asking him for what could be considered a personal favor,
06:43it's almost as if he's admitting his own guilt.
06:47We can imagine it as a very tense meeting of the two sides.
06:59Yes.
07:01Poncio Pilatos agreed to give the body to Joseph of Arimathea without giving it much importance.
07:06He probably thought it was an atypical Jewish custom.
07:11It was his way of putting an end to the whole matter.
07:16By allowing Joseph to take care of the body,
07:19Pilatos began, without knowing it, a journey that would make the tomb of Jesus
07:23one of the most venerated and mysterious relics of all time.
07:37Holy Friday.
07:39The Romans leave the body of Jesus hanging on the cross.
07:47Wrapping a victim of crucifixion in a mortar was not at all common.
07:54After they had exhaled their last breath, they became garbage.
07:58They were left there to rot and be eaten.
08:04The Gospel of Matthew says that the body of Jesus was wrapped in a thin cloth of cotton
08:09brought by Joseph of Arimathea.
08:12The Bible also reveals that someone helped Joseph in the burial of Jesus,
08:18another member of the Jewish council, Nicodemus.
08:25Nicodemus, like Joseph of Arimathea,
08:28was also a member of the Sanhedrin and a man of weight in Jewish society.
08:33It's clear that not all the Jews of Jerusalem
08:36desired the death of Jesus
08:38for the simple fact that Jesus was Jewish,
08:40his followers were Jewish, his disciples were Jewish.
08:43But not only that, not all the Jewish authorities
08:46supported the death of Jesus,
08:48as is the case of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.
08:56The body is transferred to the tomb of Joseph,
08:59where it is prepared for burial.
09:03The moment that Nicodemus was most involved was the burial.
09:08He supplied products that were very expensive
09:11to be used in the process of embalming the body.
09:18The Jewish law of the first century
09:20said that the touch of a corpse was something impure.
09:23And so the fact that Joseph and Nicodemus
09:25came into the process of preparing the body of Jesus for burial
09:29is a proof of his tremendous love and devotion to the body of Jesus.
09:34The entrance to the tomb was sealed with a rock.
09:43Three days after the crucifixion,
09:45John and Simon Peter, two of Jesus' apostles,
09:48visited the tomb.
09:50The tomb was filled with the body of Jesus,
09:53and the body of Jesus was buried in the tomb.
09:56Three days after the crucifixion,
09:58John and Simon Peter, two of Jesus' apostles,
10:01visited the tomb.
10:03They found it empty.
10:05This is what the Gospel of John tells us.
10:09And behind it came Simon Peter,
10:11who entered the tomb,
10:13and there he saw the shroud.
10:21But the Bible does not mention
10:23how death ran that canvas of linen.
10:31More than 1,300 years later,
10:33a shroud with the image of the body of crucified Jesus
10:36appeared out of nowhere in a small town in the northeast of France.
10:43When it was moved to Turin,
10:4540,000 people gathered to welcome it.
10:49When the Italian Secondo Pia
10:51took the first photograph of the shroud,
10:54centuries later, in 1898,
10:56it became a worldwide phenomenon.
11:05All of a sudden,
11:07the negative image of the man in the shroud appeared.
11:13And it's like staring at the face of Jesus.
11:17It suddenly turned from a shroud of an icon
11:20of religious devotion
11:22to an icon of scientific obsession.
11:27Whoever proves that the shroud of Turin is authentic
11:30will be demonstrating the existence of Jesus Christ.
11:47In 1978, the physicist of the Air Force,
11:50John Jackson,
11:51a member of the Project for the Research of the Shroud of Turin,
11:54obtained permission to study the relic.
11:59You see the image of a man
12:01in which you can see, for example,
12:03the head, the arms crossed,
12:06and you can even see the fingers.
12:12In front of a team of 40 scientists
12:14and with the most advanced tools at their disposal,
12:17Jackson begins to investigate the shroud.
12:21In reality, we didn't know what we were going to discover.
12:24Was it a painting or was it something else?
12:28After working tirelessly for five days,
12:31the scientists' conclusions
12:33seemed to indicate the authenticity of the shroud,
12:36further increasing the mystery.
12:40Each of the fibers has some kind of coloration.
12:43So there's no evidence of the use of any kind of medium.
12:47The remains don't penetrate the thickness of the fabric,
12:50they just remain on the surface.
12:52The question is, why?
12:54Why does that happen?
12:58Jackson and his team also wanted to investigate
13:01some dark marks that looked like blood stains.
13:07So all we did was extract microscopic samples
13:10from areas with blood stains
13:12and take them to the United States
13:14for a microchemical study.
13:16And the result was that these blood stains
13:19were actually blood.
13:24Without being able to explain how the image and presence
13:27of what appeared to be blood in the shroud came about,
13:30Jackson searched in the Gospels
13:32for a possible connection between the last day of Jesus
13:35and the shroud.
13:40According to the Gospel of John,
13:43then Pilate arrested Jesus and made him stabbed.
13:51In my opinion, the most remarkable thing
13:54is the number of marks all over the cloth.
13:57To me, this looks like blood remains
14:00from a person who was stabbed.
14:11Everything in the Passion is full of references
14:14to the pain and humiliation in the justification of Jesus.
14:20It begins with the most striking, the flagellation,
14:23something that was about to end his life.
14:40If you think about it, it's a really awful spectacle.
14:56He was spat at.
14:58They laughed at him.
15:00Anything to annihilate his will, everything possible.
15:11But the sweat of Turin also reveals
15:14one of the most famous moments in the history of the crucifixion.
15:24The Gospel of John describes what happened next.
15:29The soldiers made a cross of thorns
15:32and placed it on his head.
15:36John Jackson has spent 40 years
15:39contrasting the sweat of Turin
15:42with the descriptions of the death of Jesus
15:45collected in the Bible.
15:47If we look at the front image,
15:49we see what looks like blood stains
15:52basically coming from some type of hole.
16:00They correspond to what happened to Jesus
16:03according to the Gospel, the crown of thorns.
16:13The purpose of the crown of thorns
16:16was to put an end to any aspiration of the Jews
16:19to become rulers one day.
16:26They nailed it to his head in such a way
16:29that you could see the blood dripping down his face.
16:34I believe that is one of the most touching episodes
16:37of Jesus' life.
16:39It is very difficult to see anyone mocked like that.
16:47After the flagellation and the crown of thorns,
16:50according to the Gospel,
16:52Jesus was then led to the crucifixion.
16:55The cross that dragged Jesus through the streets of Jerusalem
16:58weighed more than 130 kilos.
17:13While Jesus was carrying the cross,
17:16a crowd was following him.
17:20Some were showing compassion,
17:23others were mocking him.
17:28The scene must have been appalling.
17:50Jackson is convinced that the sweat
17:53shows the last moments of Jesus.
17:58The blood stains around the shoulder
18:01are more intense and more spread
18:04as opposed to those down further on the back.
18:08Maybe what we're looking at is the action
18:11of that cross being on the shoulder
18:14and smearing the blood of the wounds
18:17so that it could spread more easily.
18:24As he was pushing through the streets,
18:27there came a time when the weight of the cross
18:30became too much for Jesus.
18:36At some point, the soldiers asked Simon Cyreneus
18:39to carry the cross for him.
18:42This is not a gesture of kindness on his part,
18:45this is a gesture of compassion.
18:48He was so weak that it was impossible
18:51for him to carry the cross.
18:56That is why Simon Cyreneus
18:59helped him carry the cross.
19:16Two other criminals were crucified on the same day.
19:30They threw him to the ground.
19:33They spoke to him as rudely as possible
19:36to show him that he had no control,
19:39that he was totally unprotected.
19:43Father, forgive them
19:46because they do not know what they are doing.
19:56Every part of the crucifixion
19:59was meant to cause more anguish,
20:02more humiliation, more fear and horror
20:05among those who were present.
20:13We know that during the crucifixion
20:16there was Mary, the mother of Jesus,
20:19and Mary Magdalene watching the terrible scene.
20:22It must have been incredibly difficult
20:25for the followers of Jesus,
20:28for their families, or for their friends,
20:31to witness that scene.
20:37Then, as they held his arm outstretched,
20:40he saw the huge nail
20:43and tried to remove it.
20:47And they nailed him.
20:55At this point,
20:58the mystery of the crucifixion intensifies.
21:01The marks on the cloth
21:04challenge all the knowledge
21:07that these wounds could be in the wrong place.
21:16Each stage of the crucifixion
21:19is meant to inflict pain and humiliation.
21:28In that sense,
21:31the Sudario de Turín reveals an unexpected story.
21:35For centuries,
21:38the artistic tradition showed the nails
21:41going through the palms of Jesus' hands.
21:45In the image of the Sudario,
21:48it seems to have been crucified by the wrists.
21:53Jackson believes that the Sudario
21:56reveals a more historical version.
21:59The objective is that the person who is crucified
22:02remains conscious until he dies.
22:05There have been experiments with corpses,
22:08both with the hypothetical location of the nails in the palms
22:11and in the wrists.
22:14These experiments have shown that the wrists
22:17have much more capacity to bear the weight than the palms,
22:20which would coincide with the Sudario.
22:23The palms would end up tearing.
22:32Then they raised the cross.
22:35Imagine the agony of getting up
22:38after having gone through with nails,
22:41hands and feet.
22:44Any movement would be agony.
22:47Then they held the cross with ropes
22:50and then dropped it into a hole
22:53so it wouldn't fall.
22:56Imagine what that must have been like.
23:00One of the difficulties to imagine the crucifixion
23:03is that for 2,000 years,
23:06the Christian tradition has venerated the image of the cross.
23:09There are images of Jesus in precious churches with golden crosses.
23:12All that prevents us from really imagining
23:15what a crucifixion was.
23:21But when we stop for a moment
23:24and observe the historical nature of the crucifixion
23:27and remember the purpose of the Romans
23:30in humiliating and torturing people,
23:33then for a moment we see it as something very different,
23:36something painful and humiliating.
23:51The weight of the body falls on the arms
23:54making it increasingly difficult to breathe.
23:57Most of the victims of the crucifixion died of asphyxia.
24:06I am thirsty.
24:09I am thirsty.
24:15Imagine that your mother, your father or your best friend
24:18is nailed to a log,
24:21hanging in the open sun
24:24and also suffering a terrible death of asphyxia.
24:28It is quite difficult to explain something like this with words.
24:39This had to be the most atrocious moment of their lives.
24:52The last mark of the sweat
24:55occurred just after the death of Jesus.
25:00This mark of blood does not coincide with a normal crucifixion,
25:03but in the case of Jesus, the Gospels tell us
25:06that it was made by a Roman soldier
25:09to make sure that he was dead
25:12and thus to be able to lower his body before the Jewish Passover.
25:16In the Gospel of John,
25:19a soldier crosses the body of Jesus on one side,
25:22shedding blood and water.
25:29There are those who hold the hypothesis
25:32that these lighter areas are due to the fluids
25:35associated with the blood, the blood and water
25:38that the Gospels mention.
25:42The sweat of Turin seems to be a silent witness
25:45of the final suffering of Jesus.
26:01And then, according to the Gospels,
26:04after being buried,
26:07Jesus rose again.
26:12The only thing left in the tomb
26:15was the cloth used to wrap his body.
26:22The crucifixion is one of the most impactful fragments of the Gospels,
26:25simply because it is the death of Jesus,
26:28the Son of God,
26:31but it is also the beginning of a new life.
26:35To find an archaeological remain
26:38that demonstrates his existence,
26:41his death and his resurrection,
26:44is something extraordinary.
26:47Based on the research I have done,
26:50I believe that we are facing the mortars
26:53that were used on Jesus 2,000 years ago.
26:59However, there is a part of the research
27:02that Jackson could not complete.
27:05A precise dating of the material.
27:14In 1988, the Catholic Church,
27:17for the first time since its discovery,
27:20allowed the use of part of the cloth
27:23to subject it to carbon dating.
27:26Samples were cut from the edge of the sweat
27:29and sent to three independent laboratories
27:32in Texas, Zurich and Arizona.
27:35Just thinking about the possibility
27:38that an archaeological remain
27:41demonstrates that Jesus Christ was crucified,
27:44buried and resurrected among the dead
27:47is one of the most significant moments
27:50in the history of the human being.
27:53Turin, 1988.
27:56Three small pieces of the sweat
27:59were used to send them to laboratories around the world
28:02and subject them to a carbon dating test.
28:05This is the moment of truth for the sweat of Turin.
28:08It is the authentic or a falsification.
28:13For hundreds of years, the sweat of Turin
28:16has been an important symbol of faith
28:19for Catholics and believers around the world.
28:22Today, the obispado of Turin
28:25has confirmed the results of the tests carried out.
28:28The shroud of Jesus Christ
28:31does not date from the time of Jesus.
28:34The shroud dates from the 13th century.
28:37It is a falsification of the Middle Ages.
28:40It was outrageous to think
28:43that it was the shroud of Jesus Christ.
28:46It was a shock.
28:49People stopped looking at it and said,
28:52this is Jesus, our Lord.
28:55No, sorry, it is a very good falsification.
28:58It was painful.
29:01In medieval Europe,
29:04the business of the creation of religious relics
29:07was very profitable.
29:10People longed to pay to feel closer to Jesus
29:13and the falsifiers took advantage of the situation.
29:16But despite being proven to be a falsification,
29:19the fascination for the sweat increased.
29:22How did the image of the shroud come about?
29:25No one has an explanation for that.
29:28There are all kinds of theories that have yet to be tested.
29:37South African art historian,
29:40Professor Nicholas Allen,
29:43believes he knows the answer.
29:46He is convinced that it is the oldest photograph
29:50When I look at the shroud, I ask myself,
29:53how did it come about?
29:56And the shroud tells us that it is the negative of a photograph.
29:59I am aware that to think
30:02that someone could have taken a photograph 600 years ago
30:05may seem crazy,
30:08but when I began to investigate the technology available at that time,
30:11I realized that they had everything they needed.
30:14Due to his knowledge of art history,
30:17Allen knew that artists of the Middle Ages
30:20already used an optical device called a dark camera.
30:23The dark camera worked exactly like the human eye.
30:26It was a sealed box
30:29in which light could not enter except through a large hole.
30:32Like in the human eye, there was a lens.
30:35Everything that was outside the box
30:38was focused through the lens,
30:41forming an inverted image, that is, face down,
30:44in the back of the camera.
30:47Thanks to the lens in the front of the camera,
30:50a sharp image is projected in the back.
30:53We know for sure that it is a very old technology.
30:56It was available in the 13th century
30:59or at the beginning of the 14th century,
31:02just when it was supposed to be used.
31:05Allen places a model in front of his dark camera
31:08and places it facing the sun.
31:11The whole scene must be calculated to the millimeter
31:14before starting the exhibition.
31:19A medieval artist would have needed to make sure
31:22that any image that he projected on a fabric
31:25was fixed permanently.
31:28The canvas had to be immersed in photographic chemicals.
31:32Today, this is equivalent to using silver aluminum.
31:37Both silver nitrate and silver sulfate
31:40were known in Europe in the 13th century
31:43and were very easy to get.
31:51A sheet is immersed in a solution of silver sulfate.
32:01It is allowed to dry
32:05and then mounted on the camera.
32:11After eight hours of exposure,
32:14a discoloration of the fabric is patented,
32:17which would be the negative of the image that is outside the camera.
32:24To complete the process,
32:27it was necessary to wash the fabric
32:30with a chemical product easily available.
32:33The silver sulfate of the piece of fabric
32:36could have been cleaned with urine
32:39because the urine contains a large amount of ammonia.
32:44Whoever made the sweat of Turin
32:47did not get it the first time.
32:50This probably required a lot of planning
32:53and making a lot of mistakes.
32:57When the image was analyzed,
33:00the results of Allen's method did not cease to amaze.
33:08The resulting image has the characteristics
33:11of the image of the sweat of Turin,
33:14that is, it is a negative,
33:17and the coloration, the pigment stains or dust.
33:22This is an image produced three days ago
33:25with a dark camera.
33:28To turn it into the sweat of Turin,
33:31you would only have to add some blood stains.
33:34It would be enough to artistically paint
33:37the stigmas on the image.
33:40In my opinion, this is the oldest existing example
33:43of a phenomenon that today we call photography
33:46and it dates from the medieval era.
33:49But Allen's work has aroused a lot of controversy
33:52and leaves many questions unanswered.
33:55If it is a medieval photograph,
33:58where are all the other medieval photographs?
34:01That's the other problem with sweat.
34:04It's unique. There's nothing like it.
34:08Despite the carbon dating,
34:11some people still believe in its authenticity.
34:15Some people refuse to believe in the result.
34:18They question the samples that were made.
34:21They consider that they were not obtained
34:24from the center of the sweat, but from the edges.
34:27The recent study of another mysterious relic
34:30has aroused new doubts about our knowledge
34:33of the sweat of Turin.
34:40It is a piece of museum that suggests
34:43that the sweat is even older than it is claimed.
34:51In a small annex of a cathedral in northern Spain
34:54is the cloth that perhaps covered the face of Jesus
34:57after he died on the cross.
35:00The sweat of Oviedo.
35:04Mark Gaskin and a team from the Spanish Center for Sindonology
35:07have been studying the sweat of Oviedo for 25 years.
35:10According to legend,
35:13it is an independent piece of cloth
35:16that is also mentioned in the Bible.
35:19It is believed that the sweat of Oviedo
35:22was used to cover the face of Jesus.
35:25It is believed that the sweat of Oviedo
35:28was used to cover the face of Jesus.
35:31It is believed that the sweat of Oviedo
35:34was used to cover the face of Jesus.
35:41We've taken the sweat of Oviedo
35:44and we've taken the blood of it
35:47and we've taken six parts of it
35:50and we've taken six parts of it
35:53which is a liquid that accumulates
35:56in the lungs when somebody dies of asphyxia.
36:01The researchers believe that most of the victims of crucifixion died of asphyxia,
36:07leaving remains in the lungs of the fluids associated with it.
36:12Gaskin's study, carried out with an exact replica of the canvas,
36:17casts a new light on a part of the history of Jesus unknown until then.
36:24What this experiment has shown is that, without a doubt,
36:29the canvas was on a corpse because all the bloodstains found
36:34are totally incompatible with any type of breathing movement.
36:46If Gaskin is right, José de Arimatea would have placed the canvas on the face of Jesus
36:52when he was still on the cross.
37:00The face is part of the Jewish burial tradition.
37:03The face is really the seed of the soul of a deceased.
37:07The face is the first thing that is covered.
37:10It must be treated with the greatest respect.
37:17I think the reason why José was so predisposed to make sure
37:20that Jesus received an honorable burial
37:23was because it was his way of saying,
37:25I didn't do what I should have done.
37:29I should have defended him.
37:36For Gaskin, the sweat marks on the forehead
37:39explain how José lowered the body from the cross.
37:44The only way to get this image
37:47was if the body was lying face down on the ground
37:51so that all the liquid and the blood from the nose
37:55would move down to the forehead.
38:00But it is supposed that they moved the body face down
38:03for five or ten minutes
38:05while someone was holding the fabric against their face.
38:09Once in the tomb, he removed the fabric from his face
38:15and wrapped Jesus in the sweat.
38:20So we know what happened from the time of Christ's death
38:23until his body was deposited in the tomb.
38:27But Gaskin believes that there is an even more important reason
38:30to study the sweat.
38:33For him, the sweat marks are like a fingerprint.
38:36There are no two identical ones.
38:40If this fabric had been placed on the face of another person,
38:43even if they had suffered the same type of torture and wounds,
38:47then the sweat marks would have a completely different shape
38:50and a completely different situation.
38:54For Gaskin, this is a crucial proof
38:57because when his team compared the bloodstains
39:00from the sweat of Obed
39:02with those of the sweat of Turin,
39:04the discovery was amazing.
39:10The bloodstains coincided.
39:15So we can conclude that the two fabrics were used at the same time
39:19for the same purpose, to cover the same body.
39:23The carbon proof of the fabric has not yielded clear results,
39:27but the first written document that mentions the relic
39:30is located in Jerusalem,
39:32more than 500 years after the death of Jesus.
39:36For Gaskin, this document suggests
39:38that it is at least 700 years older than the sweat of Turin.
39:42How is this possible?
39:46Gaskin believes that the dating of the sweat of Turin is not correct.
39:54Now that is an amazing conclusion
39:56because they could only have coincided in Jerusalem
39:59sometime before the 5th century,
40:01which questions the dating of the sweat of Turin
40:05and proves that it does not date from medieval times,
40:08but it is a much older piece of fabric.
40:15Despite decades of conscientious scientific research,
40:19for many, the mystery and power of the sweat of Turin
40:23are still in force.
40:26I do think that the sweat that enveloped Jesus
40:28has survived to this day.
40:30Clearly, it was an object of great value
40:32for the apostles and for the early Christians,
40:35and so for me it makes sense that it has been preserved.
40:41My instinct tells me that it is real.
40:47I find it hard to believe that it is real,
40:49but the sweat of Turin draws our attention
40:52to an inevitable aspect of the story of Jesus,
40:55which is how much he suffered.
40:58Jesus may be glorious, king of heaven,
41:01lord of lords, king of kings,
41:03but this moment of suffering and pain
41:06has been recorded in the sweat of Turin.
41:08It is his most human moment.
41:12For many, the sweat of Turin also constitutes
41:15the painful memory of a man who tried to do the right thing.
41:22I think part of the story of Joseph is our story.
41:26Even without knowing what would happen next,
41:28despite not knowing how it would develop,
41:30what he did know was to remain by Jesus' side,
41:33to be part of God's story in the history of mankind.
