Jesus and the Holy Shroud: An Astrologer's View

Mr. Byrnes begins with a quick reprise of the basics of astrological symbolism, clarifying many of the traditional ideas and introducing a few new ones. He then uses forensic astrology to investigate charts for the birth and death of Jesus, correlating these with the chart of the first successful photograph of the Turin Shroud, when the secret of its photonegativity was discovered. The multiple exact connections between all three charts argue powerfully for the Shroud's authenticity. Mr. Byrnes also connects these charts astrologically to the Spear of Longinus and the Treasure of Montsgur. In his conclusion, he explains what he sees as the significance of the possibility that the Shroud is authentic ? the meaning this would have for our understanding of Jesus' mission on earth: at the core is the teaching regarding the Kingdom of Heaven within us.
