Blandina Paschalis Schlömer.
The Trappist nun Blandina Paschalis Schlömer used a superimposition technique to show that the images on the veil of Veronica of Manopello and the shroud of Turin were of the same person. She later applied this technique to the sudarium of Oviedo with the same result. Sister Blandina has lived as a hermit in Manoppello since 2003.
