“The Sacred Linen is a powerful and extraordinarily topical means of narrating the story of Jesus with the eloquent power of images, now prevalent in – today’s communicative universe. Therefore, the Shroud is a precious support for our faith, a powerful reminder of the mystery of the Incarnation that gives meaning to our history” (from the Preface by Cardinal Enrico Feroci).

The Shroud, preserved in Turin Cathedral, has been subjected to countless scientific and historical studies that have confirmed its authenticity. A comparison between what is found in the venerated sheet and what is recounted in the four Gospels leads to a reflection on the importance of making the precious relic known as a document of the Passion of Christ. A new Way of the Cross, inspired by the Shroud, is therefore appropriate. The meditation text of the fifteen Stations proposes a spiritual reflection inspired by current events and is accompanied by evocative original images created by well-known iconographers.
