<p>There is sufficient forensic and historical evidence to fully and rationally support the judgment that the Shroud is the actual burial cloth of Christ. Of course, making such an intellectual judgment is not mandatory. Testimony, powerful empirical evidence, and intriguing historical evidence that points to a first century Shroud origin do not compel a judgment that the Shroud is the “authentic” burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. Only first principles and mathematical proofs compel agreement. All other judgments are “free” judgments. Making a judgment of “authentic” is a free, individual judgment. However, for those individuals who come to such a judgment based on a thorough evaluation of the evidence, the Shroud may be seen not only as an icon testifying to the passion and death of Jesus but also to being a powerful faith fortifying material sign. Such an acknowledged sign points to and enriches an understanding of the passion and the mystery of the Easter Tomb of Him whom Christians call Christ. When seen in this light the mission of the ACHS to educate and spread information about the Shroud throughout the Americas becomes an imperative. We need your help in funding this ACHS mission. Please also pray for the Confraternity’s success.</p>
