Between faith, science, and the enigma that continues to baffle the world.

Every Holy Week, millions of people around the world relive the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus. It is a time of reflection, tradition, and faith. But it is also a time when questions that have persisted for centuries resurface: What really happened in those days? What evidence exists beyond the biblical texts? What if the mystery lies… in a piece of cloth?

We are referring to the Shroud of Turin , one of the most studied, venerated, and controversial relics in history. It is a linen cloth over four meters long, on which the blurred—but surprisingly detailed—image of the body of a man who would have suffered tortures similar to those described in the crucifixion of Jesus can be seen.

What's unsettling is that the image wasn't painted, drawn, or dyed . Numerous studies have shown that the figure appears to be inexplicably "imprinted" on the fabric fibers, without any pigments present. And most disconcerting: it depicts marks of scourging, wounds on the wrists and side, traces of a crown of thorns… everything coincides with biblical accounts.

Miracle? Medieval manipulation? Unexplained phenomenon? Science has not yet reached a consensus. Some dating studies place the Shroud between the 13th and 14th centuries, but more recent analyses have found traces of pollen from plants that only grow in Jerusalem, and traces of type AB human blood.

The Vatican maintains a neutral position, neither affirming nor denying its authenticity, although it acknowledges its spiritual value. For many believers, the Shroud is not just an ancient cloth: it is a silent witness to the impossible, to the sacred, to that which cannot be explained... but can be felt.

Is it perhaps the face of Jesus? Be that as it may, every Holy Week, the mystery of the Shroud comes alive again , reminding us that between faith and science there are still paths not yet explored… and questions that perhaps were not meant to be answered.
