On the cover: A detail from the Shroud of Turin showing what some believe is an imprint of the face of Christ. On Page 10, biblical scholar and episcopal vicar for the Santa Barbara Pastoral Region Auxiliary Bishop Slawomir Szkredka explains why the “Sudarium,” or face veil, referenced in John’s Gospel account of the Resurrection is more than just an accessory to the Easter story. And on Page 13, Mike Aquilina details the strange history of the relic in a remote part of Spain that some believe to be the authentic “Sudarium.”
