Modern review + public event + ancient text
Read Bernadette Moriau, Fatima, and the Resurrection page. That gives you three very different kinds of file without getting lost in the whole archive.
A Gentle Way In
A guided route through the archive for readers who want pages that are easy to picture, easy to follow, and easy to trace back to sources.
This page is a short route for readers who want the easiest pages to follow first. It begins with stories that are simpler to picture and easier to trace through the surviving sources.
Best for
Readers who want an easy first route
These pages were chosen because the story and source trail are both easier to follow than average.
Good first mix
One healing, one apparition, one object, one ancient-text file
That gives a better feel for the archive than reading only one category.
What to look for
Named dates, named institutions, preserved sources
Those are usually the quickest signs that a page is worth deeper reading.
Best follow-up tool
Archive source index
Use it after each file if you want to check whether the page summary matches the underlying trail.
If you only want three first reads
Section titled “If you only want three first reads”Object route
Read Lanciano, then the Shroud. This pair works best if you want physical objects and later testing questions first.
If you want one page with story, object, and later history
Start with Guadalupe. That page brings together the apparition story, the tilma, and the later documentary history in one place.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”Bernadette Moriau
Open the file. Start here if you want a modern healing case with the clearest review trail.
Fatima
Open the file. Best first crowd-witness page because the date, prediction, and secular press record are easy to grasp.
Lanciano
Open the file. Start here if you want a preserved object with a long public tradition and later lab-linked discussion.
Resurrection of Jesus
Open the file. This is the strongest first page for readers who want an ancient-text rather than shrine-based file.
Guadalupe
Open the file. Useful if you want one page that brings together the apparition story, the tilma, and the later documentary discussion.
Source index
Open the source index. Use it right after any page if you want to see the source trail in more detail.
What a good first read should leave you with
