Columnist for the New York Post and unlikely conduit to the paranormal, Linda Stasi, discussed her confounding and bizarre experiences researching and writing a book about the Veil of Veronica, a cloth related to the Shroud of Turin, which she believes may in fact contain the DNA of Jesus. Allegedly, St. Veronica wiped the face of Jesus with her veil as he was carrying the cross, and his image appeared on the veil. According to the Monks in Manoppello, Italy who guard the cloth, the Veil is a genuine relic, but the woman Veronica is a fabrication, Stasi recounted.

Stasi saw the Veil in person which she described as a thin, transparent cloth with an image of a man's face on it that did not appear to be the product of paint or dye. Curiously, in her photos, one image shows an open mouth with teeth, another with a closed mouth, suggesting that the Veil could change. Further, she said that when the Veil and the Shroud of Turin are put together they form a complete 3D face. Jewish burial would have dictated a shroud and cloth placed on the body, and Stasi conjectured that when Jesus rose from the dead, the images were transferred onto the fabrics.

She detailed a number of unusual occurrences that happened to her as she was writing her book, The Sixth Station, including the seeming appearance of a recently deceased friend at her home. Her book, a religious thriller, poses the question if Jesus' DNA exists on the Veil, what would happen if he was cloned? Historian/author Paul Badde joined the conversation for a segment talking about his research into the Veil of Veronica, which he found to be an
inexplicable object that cannot be reproduced today.

Some say Demiel ben Yusef is the world’s most dangerous terrorist, personally responsible for bombings and riots that have claimed the lives of thousands. Others insist he is a man of peace, a miracle worker, and possibly even the Son of God. His trial in New York City for crimes against humanity attracts scores of protestors, as well as media and religious leaders from around the world. Cynical reporter Alessandra Russo heads to the UN hoping for a piece of the action, but soon becomes entangled in controversy and suspicion when ben Yusef singles her out for attention among all other reporters. 

As Alessandra begins digging into ben Yusef’s past, she is already in more danger than she knows—and when she is falsely accused of murder during her investigation, she is forced to flee New York.
On the run from unknown enemies, Alessandra finds herself on the trail of a global conspiracy and a story that could shake the world to its foundations. Is Demiel ben Yusef the Second Coming or the Antichrist? The truth may lie in the secret history of the Holy Family, a group of Templars who defied the church, and a mysterious relic stained with the sacred blood of Christ Himself.
