Why an Atheist Thinks the Shroud of Turin is the Real Deal

Robert de Clari

But among the rest, there was also another of the min-sters [churches], which was called the Church of my Lady Saint Mary of Blachernae, within which was the shroud [or syndoine or syndoines: singular or plural] wherein Our Lord was wrapped. And on every Friday that shroud did raise itself upright [or stood up straight], so that the form [or features] of Our Lord could clearly be seen. And none knows - neither Greek nor Frank - what became of that shroud when the city was taken.
