## Resource

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin , historian Duran Smith joins Guy Powell to explore the early history of the Shroud following the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Smith discusses several theories regarding the Shroud’s journey across early Christian communities and its potential use in private Christian ceremonies during the first few centuries. The conversation investigates the possibility that the apostles kept the burial linens to themselves, only revealing them to select followers during the early days of Christianity. Smith examines the role of early Christian communities in safeguarding sacred relics and the “discipline of the secret” that may have surrounded the Shroud. This fascinating discussion also covers the connections between the Shroud, the Eucharist, and early Christian tradition. Smith also touches on the potential movement of the Shroud from Jerusalem to Antioch, Odessa, and eventually to Constantinople. Could this ancient relic have been used as a powerful visual representation of Christ's death and Resurrection in early Christian communities? Tune in to learn about the secrets of the Shroud that remain hidden in history.
