Community Art Project
Local artist Marie Wohadlo is leading a "FODOMOsaic" color-by-number mural project and you are invited to participate! Coloring sessions are Saturdays 12-2pm and are appropriate for tweens, teens and adults who can color in small squares with pencils. No formal art skills required, just a bit of patience and the desire to help create a drawing for permanent display at BVDL. Open sessions will be on Saturdays and will run 12:00PM to 2PM, until the piece is completed. Please call ahead to let us know that you are planning to attend-thank you!

The Shroud of Turin: Is It Real?
What is the science behind our present understanding of it? Questions to be Addressed: 1. What are the Shroud of Turin, the head cloth (Sudarium), and the Veil of Veronica? 2. How is it that these relics have come down to us through 20-centuries? 3. Is the Shroud an elaborate medieval fake? 4. How can we understand why the carbon-14 dating done in the 1990’s is wrong? 5. Do we now understand how the image was made on the Shroud? 6. As we see it now, what are the chances the Shroud is really the burial cloth that covered Jesus Christ after the crucifixion and during his resurrection? 7. Even more mysteries to attempt to understand…..
