How in Fact Was Jesus Christ Laid in His Tomb?

During the fall of 1973, the enigmatic Holy Shroud of Turin will be displayed publicly for the first time in forty years. More important, for the first time in history, it will then be presented to an international scientific commission for investigation. The authorization for an extensive examination was recently given by Pope Paul VI, the Archbishop of Turin, and the House of Savoy, which owns the mysterious burial garment.

We may soon know more surely whether the remarkable visage on the Shroud is, as many believe, that of Jesus Christ.
