About Shroud of Turin Exhibition

A full-size copy of the world-famous Shroud of Turin is coming to the Catholic Parish of All Saints, Newport. It will be on display from 17th September to 27th September at St. Mary’s Church and will be available to view outside of service times.

The Shroud of Turin exhibition includes a beautiful 15 foot replica image which is a photograph printed onto cotton by an American photographer, Barrie Schwortz, who was the official photographer at the STuRP (Shroud of Turin Research Project) examination of the Shroud in 1978. The genuine Shroud of Turin which shows the image of a man who has been crucified is preserved with great reverence in the Cathedral of Turin and the full-length replica is very rare. The exhibition has travelled widely and has been on display at Westminster Cathedral, Dublin Pro-Cathedral and Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.
