Cesare Nosiglia, the archbishop
of Turin, has said that 2,500 young people will be allowed to
have extraordinary 'close encounter' with the Turin Shroud on
Friday evening.
"It will be an extraordinary veneration because for the first
time in history it will be possible to contemplate it from a
distance of centimetres (away from the glass of the chapel that
hosts it)," said Nosiglia, who is also the custodian of the
shroud.
"It would also be the ideal way to do the next public
showings".
