Item 0185 - Anno Santo 1933-1934. S.S. Sindone - Torino

The pastel-coloured image depicts three angels at the top, two in pink and the middle one in gold holding the Shroud of Turin, believed to have held the body of Jesus Christ after his Passion and death. Around this, there are several cherubims in a cloud. Below this, there are two postraits - the one on the left hand side belongs to Cardinal M. Fossati, who was Archbishop of Turin at the time (1933-1934) and the right hand image is of Pope Pius XI, under whose reign the Jubilee Year was commemorated. At the bottom, one finds a picture of the Metropolitan Church dedicated to St John in Turin where the Shroud is kept and on the right the Basilica of St Peter's in Rome. This image is a memento of the Jubilee Year 1933-1934 and of the Nineteenth Centenary since the Passion and death of Jesus Christ. On the second page, one finds short notes about the Shroud of Turin and on the third page, there is a prayer dedicated to the same Shroud and an indulgence linked to whoever recites this prayer when visiting the Shoud at the Metropolitan Church. On the fourth and last page, one finds another prayer in a poetic format.
