Nora Creech

Liaison to Othonia

Nora Creech has been interested in the Shroud of Turin since the 1970s and has extensively studied the linen cloth. As an experienced lecturer on the history, science, and pastoral implications of the Shroud, she is passionate about sharing the facts related to the mysterious image and connecting it to the Gospel message.

Nora is a part of “Othonia”, the international organization responsible for educating people about the Shroud through exhibits, educational initiatives, conferences, and lectures

“Othonia,” from the Greek word in John’s Gospel for “burial cloth,” is an Apostolate of the Science & Faith Institute of the Pontifical University Regina Apostolorum located in Rome, Italy. Othonia has strong relationships with Shroud experts all over the world and is an authoritative source for the most up-to-date information on the Shroud from a historical and scientific perspective and its relationship to the Scriptures.

The National Shroud of Turin Exhibit partnered with Othonia to produce the Shroud exhibit at the National Eucharistic Congress in July 2024.

Nora earned a Master of Arts degree in Faith and Culture from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX, and has completed the postgraduate course in Shroud Studies offered by the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy.

Nora continues to develop and install Othonia’s “Who is the man of the Shroud?” exhibit across the USA and numerous locations around the world.
