About the Speaker: Myra Kahn Adams,
Executive Director National Shroud of Turin Exhibit.org

Myra Kahn Adams leads a team of Shroud of Turin experts with the mission of producing a permanent Shroud exhibit in Washington, D.C. The Shroud replica at CIC is her team’s first mini-exhibit. The National Shroud of Turin Exhibit is a project of SignFromGod.org, a ministry that began in November 2017 to promote Shroud education. Then, in May 2018, SignFromGod spearheaded an effort culminating at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., to host their successful February through July 2022 Shroud exhibit.

Myra has written extensively about the Shroud of Turin with numerous credits, including National Review.com. She is an avid proponent of 21st century testing. Notably, in 2019 she wrote “Open Letter to Pope Francis: Time to Re-Test the Shroud” and was informed that the Pope’s personal secretary had received her letter.

Myra has authored two books “Bible Study For Those Who Don’t Read the Bible” Part One and Two. These are compilations of her Townhall.com weekly Sunday Bible study column started in February 2020. She is also a regular op-ed contributor to The Hill and RealClearPolitics.

Nora earned a Master of Arts in Faith and Culture from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, and attended the Shroud Studies course offered by the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy.  She serves on the Board of Directors for the Shroud Center of Southern California. In addition, Nora is working with Genevieve Keeney-Vazquez the Curator and President/CEO of the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston, Texas to develop a permanent exhibit about the Shroud entitled “The Most Famous Burial of All Time: The Shroud of Turin.”  The exhibit opens to the public on April 27, 2023.
