Pope Francis has held his first Easter Vigil as Pontiff and the Shroud of Turin believed to be the actual burial cloth of Christ has been shown on television. Referring to the Shroud Pope Francis asked the following:“How is it that the faithful, like you, pause before this icon of a man scourged and crucified? It is because the Man of the Shroud invites us to contemplate Jesus of Nazareth. “This face has eyes that are closed, it is the face of one who is dead, and yet mysteriously he is watching us, and in silence he speaks to us.” It is indeed a very good question.
