Shroud of Turin exhibit to open Oct. 19 at Sacred Heart Parish

An exhibit on the Shroud of Turin will be held Oct. 19–21, at the Sacred Heart Parish Center in New Philadelphia.

Display hours are Sunday, Oct. 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Monday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A presentation and discussion will take place Monday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m.

The Shroud of Turin has been venerated for centuries as the burial cloth of Jesus and is widely regarded as one of the most studied objects in the world.

The exhibit invites visitors to explore the relationship between faith, science, scripture and hope. It features a replica of the Shroud and is the same updated display that debuted at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis.

The exhibit was developed by Othonia, part of the Institute of Science and Faith at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University in Rome, Italy.

 Sacred Heart Parish is located at 139 Third St. NE, New Philadelphia.
