Shroud of Turin: Show Us The Text

(Image from Wikimedia Commons.)

Again, more hype about the supposed Aramaic on the Shroud of Turin (which I mentioned in an earlier blog post). As such I have hesitated to comment yet again. Now, however, every news source is very loud about this "new" discovery.

All I have to say at this point is: Please reveal to us the text.

I have not been able to see a single image of it on the whole of the Internet, so until visual contact has been established, I will remain a tad bit skeptical. :-)

New Addition to the Caruso Household

At 9:45 AM this past Monday (the 9th) our daughter Abigail came into the world weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz. :-)

As such, please excuse me over the next few weeks as my family and I adjust to a new "normal." I may be even more scatterbrained than usual (as hard as that may be to believe). :-)

Peace,
-Steve

Syriac Inscription Found in Edessa

Gazetteport.com reports that farmers ploughing a field at Urfa in South-East Turkey struck something and when they went to dig it out which turned out to be a tablet inscribed with Syriac in Estrangela.

Talk about a beautiful find, though. :-)
