The retreat that is being offered is NEW and has been created to appeal to students specifically in grades 5-12.
As a charitable organization, Anastasis (meaning “resurrection”, in Greek) has created a retreat with an engaging talk followed by an exhibit of tactile replicas and innovative technology to engage young learners in understanding and appreciating the mystery of the Shroud of Turin.
The Talk
The Talk
Teachers, your students will be captivated by a 50-minute CSI style talk that blends forensic science (e.g., blood chemistry, 3D imaging) with Jesus’ passion narrative, sparking critical thinking and faith reflection while aligning with science, history, and religion learning outcomes. Students will also receive a gift bag with uniquely curated artistic material & prayers.
The Exhibit
The Exhibit
The 30-minute immersive exhibit invites hands-on exploration of Shroud clues through tactile models (e.g., flagrums, spear replica), recreating crucifixion scenes and Secondo Pia’s discovery, fostering engagement and deeper understanding of scientific, historical and spiritual mysteries. (Light snack will be provided for students).
The Invitation
The Invitation
Culminating in a 15-minute gentle invitation to Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, the retreat connects the Shroud’s “I AM coming back” promise to the Eucharist’s Real Presence, leaving students inspired and ready to apply these insights to their life - sign up your class today to transform their learning!
