Cross of Turin THE TURIN CROSS “He was wounded for our iniquities and bruised for our sins.” (Isaias 1: 6)

For the first time ever, forensic science has been able to reveal the true manner and form in which Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, was crucified. The Turin Cross depicts exactly how Our Lord sacrificed Himself for us. And now, the form of that cross has gone into production with Fado Jewelry. The Turin Cross is based on scientific analysis of the Shroud of Turin, the burial cloth of our Blessed Savior. The Shroud presents us with the tangible evidence for the Gospel accounts of Our Lord’s torture, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection.

1. Blood traces on the shroud reveal the angle that Our Lord’s arms hung on the cross and the fact that the arms were tied tightly to the beams of the cross. This evidence gives us the shape of the Turin Cross: exactly that which appears on the Gothic chasuble.

2. The Shroud proves the nails were driven through the hand near the wrist.

3. The Shroud indicates that the right leg was stretched flat on the cross and the left foot was nailed on top of the right foot using only one nail. To accomplish this, a cavity for the right heel was carved into the cross, the right leg was stretched flat on the cross and the left foot was nailed through the right foot onto a wedge shaped foot rest.

4. Traces of blood on the Shroud indicate that the Crown of Thorns also covered the top of Our Lord’s head.

5. The Shroud indicates that the lance entered Our Lord’s side between the 5th and 6th ribs of the right side while He was still on the cross.

6. The Shroud most clearly shows the extent and intensity of the Scourging of Our Lord. He was lacerated front and back, by multiple persons, with multiple instruments, such that His whole body was criss-crossed with bloody wounds, bruises and swelling sores.

“The only thing I can boast about is the cross of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.” (Gal. 6: 14)
