About this episode
In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell interviews Myra Kahn Adams, Executive Director of the National Shroud of Turin Exhibit and a featured speaker at the Shroud 2025 Conference.
Myra traces her journey from a moving encounter with a crucifix modeled on the Shroud to seeing the actual cloth twice—in 2010 and 2015. She shares how her Jewish upbringing and later conversion to Catholicism gave her a unique lens through which to understand the power of the Shroud. Her moving analogy to Doubting Thomas paints the Shroud as a “proof for our time”—a visual testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ for those who need evidence to believe.
She also offers a preview of major news to be announced at the conference regarding the Shroud exhibit and its potential future home in Washington, D.C.
From science to mystery to faith, this conversation bridges the intellectual and spiritual power of the Shroud of Turin.
