In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined again by Dr. Cheryl White, professor of history at Louisiana State University at Shreveport and an expert on the history of relics, especially the Shroud of Turin.

We discuss the relics of Jesus' passion: the true cross, the crown of thorns, the Shroud of Turin, and more. It's a fascinating discussion about the importance of these physical reminders of our Catholic faith and the uniquely Catholic history of relics.

For more from Dr. White visit her website, check out the fantastic podcast Who is the Man of the Shroud, and visit The Man of the Shroud website.
