The Turin Shroud, a burial cloth some believe covered Jesus and which has links to a 16th-century plague in northern Italy, was put on special view for faithful worldwide through video streaming on Holy Saturday to inspire hope amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Pope Francis has hailed the initiative by the Turin archbishop, saying making it visible meets the requests of the faithful who are suffering through the COVID-19 outbreak. Archbishop Cesare Nosiglia says he received thousands of requests from persons young and old to be able to view it remotely.

The archbishop read aloud a letter from Francis, in which the pontiff expressed appreciation for "this gesture, which meets the request of the faithful people of God, so harshly proved by the coronavirus pandemic."

NP View on COVID-19: Navigating a path back to prosperity after the coronavirus pandemicUnless intense efforts to prepare for the future begin now, we will find ourselves as ill-prepared for the recovery as we were for the crisis . That's odd. Trudeau said Covid-19 was low risk; they had plans in place, learned from SARS. Health system is prepared. 🤔 How soon we forget. . Lost trust and faith in Canada's leadership! Doug Ford's doing a much better job in Ontario. . Why expect prosperity? We were in a home made recession before Corona, now we are irretrievable debt ridden with a massively devalued dollar. Prosperity? Lowest common denominator socialism more likely. The first step will be to toss this absolutely useless government with no clue.
