EDITORS COMMENTS
In the hallowed chambers of Chiesa della SS. Annunziata, nestled within the heart of Turin, Italy, lies a relic of profound significance for the Christian faith: the Detail of the Shroud of Turin. This exquisite fabric, believed by many to bear the imprint of the face of Jesus Christ, is a source of awe and reverence for millions around the world. The Shroud, a brown, intricately textured cloth, is notoriously difficult to capture in its entirety due to its size and delicate nature. However, this close-up photograph by Philippe Lissac offers a unique and intimate perspective of its most famous feature - the enigmatic face of Christ. The vertical composition of the image draws the viewer's gaze directly to the intricately detailed features, inviting contemplation and reflection. The Shroud of Turin, a cherished relic of Europe's rich religious history, has been the subject of intense study and debate for centuries. Its origins remain a mystery, with some believing it to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, while others dismiss it as a medieval forgery. Regardless of its authenticity, the Shroud continues to captivate the imagination and inspire wonder, making it a must-see attraction for pilgrims and tourists alike. This color image, taken indoors, captures the essence of the Detail of the Shroud of Turin in Chiesa della SS. Annunziata church, offering a glimpse into the sacred space where this revered relic is housed. The absence of people in the photograph adds to the sense of quiet contemplation and reverence, making it a powerful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the transcendent beauty of the divine.
