The latest Irish Ecclesiastical Record contains an essay by the late Canon Beecher, of Maynooth, on the Holy Shroud.
Ever a champion of the much-contested case, Dr. Beecher developed in his last years an intense devotion to the Shroud as "a fifth Gospel." In his essay he contends that this amazing relic has recorded parts of the Crucifixion which were not written in the Gospels.
He tells how, with Cardinal MacRory's patronage, he had decided to devote his remaining life to propagation of knowledge of the Shroud, and had purchased lantern and photographs in order to give lectures wherever they would be accepted.
