How to talk
about the Shroud with young children?
What should it be the outline of a path that involves also science, history
and biology
besides religion? Maybe we should take the children’s questions as a
starting
point….as a group of teachers from Torino did. SHROUD.
Sindone is a
Greek word that means "linen cloth". According to Jewish
tradition the body of a
dead person was wrapped in this sheet and then placed in the sepulcher.
Today, when we talk of the "Holy Shroud" we mean the linen sheet
that has been
kept for centuries in the Chapel of the Shroud in Torino (Italy) and that
shows the
imprint of a human face and body that is believed to be Jesus’.
