Synopsis:

Unraveling the Shroud (The Shroud of Turin)
For centuries, the Shroud of Turin and Shroud has been the touchstone of faith for millions of people. Many believe that is the primary test of how Jesus Christ died on the cross. But is it real or a clever fake?

The Spear of Christ
It came as a holy instrument in the hands of a Roman soldier present during the Passion of Christ and became one of the world's most powerful relics. It is believed that the Holy Lance is imbued with miraculous powers to penetrate the side of Jesus when he was on the cross and has been associated with some of the most miraculous events in history.

Relics of the Passion
Relics of the Passion of Christ, sacred objects scattered around the world, some as small as a nail or a thorn, but are they really what the faithful think they are?

Resurrection
At some point between 30 and 33 of the first century, a young Jewish preacher named Jesus of Nazareth was crucified in Jerusalem. It was a brutal and humiliating death that should have ended with little movement. However, his followers continued to plant the seeds of a religion that eventually lead the Western world.

Unraveling the Shroud (The Shroud of Turin)
For centuries the Shroud of Turin has been a touchstone of faith for millions. Many believe it is the primary evidence of the way Jesus Christ died on the cross. But is it real or a clever forgery? Did Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci play a trick on the Roman Catholic Church? We bring you the latest theories and the most current tests, some commissioned especially for the program. Despite centuries of scrutiny from scientists, theologians, and art historians, the linen cloth with the faint image has remained a three-and-a-half by fourteen foot enigma. Like a mirror, for some it has reflected what we know; for others, what we believe.

The Spear of Christ
Follow one of the world's most holy relics on its two-thousand-year journey down through history. It began as an instrument of mercy in the hands of a Roman soldier at Christ's Passion and became one of history's most powerful relics. The Spear of Christ is believed to have been infused with miraculous power as it pierced the side of Christ and has been linked to some of history's most remarkable episodes. Travel through history as we examine each of four artifacts claiming to be the Holy Lance. Scientific analysis helps in our attempt to discover if a true Spear of Christ exists today. Through high quality re-enactments, shooting on location, and the use of historic images, we tell the amazing tale of this sacred relic.
