Richard Orareo, Shroud of Turin collector to open national shrine in Wabash, Indiana

Kevin Kilbane of the Fort Wayne, Indiana paper, The News-Sentinel has written an interesting article about shroud researcher Richard Orareo and his forthcoming museum in Wabash, a city about an hour south of Fort Wayne:

You soon can explore the mystery more deeply when what reportedly is the world’s third-largest collection of Shroud-related items goes on display at the new National Shrine of the Holy Shroud in Wabash, about an hour southwest of Fort Wayne.

“The Shroud is the single-most studied artifact in the history of humanity,” said Richard Orareo, who developed the collection over more than 40 years of searching. He hopes to open the shrine in May.

I look forward to visiting the museum and visiting Richard, with whom I have corresponded and had conversations in the past.
