Face of a Saint: Thomas Aquinas’ Appearance Revealed After 750 Years

Scientists have reconstructed the face of St. Thomas Aquinas using his skull after 750 years, while also discovering that his death may have been caused by a traumatic brain injury from a falling tree. The facial reconstruction project, led by Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes, has deeply moved Dominican priests and scholars who have studied Aquinas's theological and philosophical works.
