Sindone 2010

On the first opening day more than 48,000 visitors visited in the cathedral of Turin's to see the holy shroud of Jesus. Even heavy rain on Sunday could stop people to wait up to two hours before seeing the holy shroud with the image of a crucified man. The shroud was public for the first time since ten years.

I arrived with my family on 09.April 2010. We had to trevel from Hamburg to Turin about 12 hours. On Saturday, 10. April the weather was very good at 22°C in Turin. The next day the temperature fall to 9°C. Nevertheless, an incredible number of people were there to see shroud.

On Saturday, 10. April we visited the museum of the Shroud of Turin. You find it in the street "Via San Domenico”. The visit was worth it. You get a lot of information of the shroud. There are many historical items such as Books from the 15th Century handle about the shroud or the old chest from the 16th century, in wich the shroud was kept. There are also new knowledge about the shroud. For example at the end of the guiding tour you find a 3D hologram that is projected onto a big screen with projectors.

In the streets of Turin many souvenirs are sold. Much of it was cheesy and expensive. The best way to buy souvenirs is to buy it in the Shroud Museum. There are many beautiful pictures, pendants and information in several languages available. It is the cheapest store!

Nach dem Museumsbesuch kamen wir an der sehr schönen Kathedrale Chiesa dei SS. Martiri vorbei. Hier kann man die wunderschöne Wandmalerei bewundern.
