You're invited to a double lecture by Dr. Avinoam Danin and Dr. Petrus Soons on the Shroud of Turin, believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. Dr. Danin is co-author of the Flora of the Shroud of Turin. Using photographs of the shroud taken in 1978, Danin recently discovered over 300 flowers and plant parts on the head area of the cloth. He has also has studied botanical evidence of a “crown of thorns” and other flowers on the garment . Dr. Soons’s three-dimensional holograms of the shroud offer another view. Soon's work involves the digitization of shroud photographs taken in 1931. Soons enhanced the original photos to improve details—resulting in a three-dimensional (3-D) holographic images of the shroud. This unprecedented new view of the artifact yielded the discovery of previously unseen details, confirmation of many previous findings, and a few surprises.
