At The Shroud of Turin 2025 International Conference & Symposium, Shroud historian Emanuela Marinelli and theologian Fr Domenico Repice presented Repice: Contemplating the Shroud, an inspiring journey through history, faith, and science.
Their presentation revisits two millennia of devotion to the Shroud of Turin, from Joseph of Arimathea’s courageous act to modern papal reflections. Drawing from ancient texts, scientific discoveries, and the testimonies of saints and scholars, Marinelli and Fr Repice show how this linen—bearing the image of the crucified Christ—has remained a symbol of faith and mystery throughout the ages.
They describe how the Shroud became a focus of pilgrimage, scientific inquiry, and contemplation, pointing always to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. From early Church writings to the photographic revelation of 1898, each era unveiled new reasons to wonder at the Shroud’s endurance and spiritual power.
Ultimately, their message is one of hope. The Shroud speaks not of defeat, but of life restored. It calls every believer to contemplate the suffering and triumph of Christ—and to rediscover in that image the promise of eternal renewal.
