I wonder if DNA analysis has been done on a very small blood stain of the shroud. I am thinking if there are any humans that have similar DNA . Will the Vatican hierarchy allow that testing to happen? Millions of folks around the world have their DNA archived. ( 23 & me ancestry). and other similar companies.
MYSTERY:
DNA analysis: The DNA in the blood on the Shroud reveals that the person wrapped in it was a man with a Y chromosome. This raises the question, of course, of where the Y chromosome came from, since in nature it comes from the human father. But of course we already knew that Christ was, in his human nature, a completely human male. Science cannot explain how this could be accomplished without the participation of a human father but, for the Christian, the Y chromosome adds nothing new to the mystery of the Incarnation.
Verschuuren himself came away from his study with an intense conviction that the Shroud of Turin really is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Once again I recommend his book, A Catholic Scientist Champions the Shroud of Turin. On his reading of the available evidence, the Shroud, which has many mysterious properties of its own, once enclosed a far deeper mystery. In other words, the Shroud of Turin is just one more remarkable pointer to the mystery of Christ.
