  1. I typed in to www.sindone.org
  2. I clicked on ENGLISH
  3. I clicked on THE SHROUD
  4. I clicked on NEWS AND INFO
  5. I clicked on SPECIAL EVENTS

    imageSimple suggestion. Do away with all different language versions and implement Google Translate right into the HTML of the page. I’ll do it for airfare, seven days in a first class hotel and two bottles of 95 point Piedmont Barolo. Or get a local student to do it for 20 Euro and an icy mug of Birra Torino.
