The Holy Shroud and the Mystical Insights of Maria Valtorta

The Author, with his eyes on the Holy Shroud of Turin, and guided by the amazing writings of Maria Valtorta, puts back together with great plausibility, trait by trait, the human features of the Christ. He carefully examines Valtorta’s claims regarding the Passion of Jesus and the tearing reflections of the torments on his body, from the sweat of blood to the death on the Cross. He also interrogates the most renowned sindonologists, illustrious doctors, surgeons… and listens as in prayer to the thoughts of the popes, from Pius XI to Paul VI. Eventually, we get an extensive investigation, with unexpected details and clarifications of great interest. This helps us in portraying the Christ as he must have appeared to the men of his time, and make us relive with greater understanding and love the drama of his Passion.
