I want to watch the Real Face of Jesus before Easter. Will the History Channel being showing again this year?
The online schedule for the History Channel (in the U.S.) only goes out to March 16 and Easter (Gregorian) is March 31. My bet is that the History Channel will show it again around Easter in the U.S., the U.K. and on some of other international History channels. So watch the schedule.
But you have several good options for watching this highly rated Shroud of Turin documentary:
1) You can watch it by linking to YouTube or you can watch it right here.
2) For $1.99, you can purchase a downloadable version (search for “Real face of Jesus”). This can be viewed with many television set top boxes, such as TIVO, or on your computer. You can watch it as often as you want. This version is available in HD format.
3) Tor $3.99, you can also purchase an Apple iTunes version for the iPad, iPhone or your computer.
4) For $24,95, you can buy the DVD from Amazon or the History Channel. It is often on sale for less.
I keep a fully licensed version on my laptop and another one on my iPhone. I’ve used the iPhone version with a large-screen projector to show clips of the show to an audience.
Definitely one of the best documentary on the Shroud.
Concerning the last part with Ray Downing’s experiment resulting in an image “close” to the one encoded on the shroud, one should note it is based on light diffusion with a controlled source… one more step and you can model gas diffusion on a thin layer ;-)
All I can say is, Beautiful, Thank you Jesus, Glory to the Lamb of God, who was, and is to come. the Savior of the World, the one, and only King of kings, and Lord of lords, again Thank You Jesus.
