EXHIBITION (B)

Behold, behold! Feast your eyes upon this remarkable exhibit replica prop of the legendary Shroud of Turin. This sacred piece of linen, believed by many to be the very burial garment of Jesus Christ himself, has been safeguarded since the year 1578 within the hallowed walls of the royal chapel in the magnificent cathedral of San Giovanni Battista, nestled in the heart of Turin, Italy.
The Shroud of Turin is not officially endorsed or rejected by any organization or church, but it have been investigated by several scientists as per the documentary featured in this exhibition. This exhibition offers visitors opportunity to examine the evidence and form their own judgments.
2. (Man of the Shroud)
The exhibition presents for the first time in the South Africa the recreation of the man believed to be wrapped in the shroud. This figure, crafted from wax and silicone, realistically portrays the man, complete with wounds, blood clots, and marks resembling the crown of thorns. Isaiah 51:5-8 is referenced, which states, "But he was wounded for our transgressions."
3. Main Exhibition (Tomb of Christ)
Unveiling a meticulously recreated replica tomb model complete with a rolling stone, this exhibition takes you back to the biblical moment described in Matthew 28:2, where an angel rolled back the stone of the tomb. Our skilled artists meticulously measured and recreated the dimensions of both the outer facade and inner burial chamber on-site. This replica tomb serves as a remarkable teaching tool, allowing pilgrims to walk around and enter it, accompanied by paintings depicting the events surrounding Jesus' burial and resurrection.
4. Historically, these types of tombs were used for burials in Jerusalem, with pilgrims believing that Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Sanhedrin, placed Jesus' body in such a tomb. This historical event is often depicted in art as the "Entombment of Christ."
5. Resurrection
The centerpiece of this exhibition is the Tomb of Christ, symbolizing the moment of resurrection when Jesus triumphantly rose from the dead. This powerful scene represents the core belief of Christians in the exalted life of Christ as the Lord and Savior.
