The Vatican has announced this morning that Pope Benedict XVI, as one of his last acts as Pontiff, has authorized an exhibition of the Shroud on the Italian television network RAI Uno on March 30, 2013. It will be the first televised ostension of what Benedict calls “The Icon of Holy Saturday” in 40 years. I will update this post as more information becomes available, but I’m excited…since a similar events is a key plot point in my upcoming novel, “the linen god”. Stay tuned!
