He discovered traces of scattered throughout the Shroud, in various locations that coincide with the stories of Jesus’s crucifixion. For example, there was blood stains on his head that resembled scratches from the thorn crown Jesus allegedly wore. Not only did the blood correspond with the crucifixion stories, but it matched Jesus’s blood type. “The results of the study shocked the world.

  • The Minister's Black Veil Essay

    In The Minister’s Black Veil, the veil holds different meanings for the minister and for the people in his congregation. The congregation starts out confused about the meaning, and even though they get hints of the meaning over the years, they never understand it fully, and their obsessive fear of the minister continues even though he remains a good and harmless person. The minister seems to know what the symbolic meaning of the veil is, although he only reveals it slowly in bits and pieces until the climactic scene on his deathbed. He, too, views the veil with fear, because he sees it as a symbol of the secret sin in himself and everyone. In addition to the meaning the veil holds for the congregation and for the minister, it is important to consider the effect of the veil on the relationship between the two.
