Image for Shroud of Turin

Shroud of Turin

The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth believed by some to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, bearing a faint image of a man who appears to have been crucified. It measures about 14 feet long and 3.5 feet wide. The shroud has been preserved for centuries and is kept in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. Its origins and the methods used to create its image are subjects of debate and investigation, with some scholars suggesting it is a medieval forgery, while others see it as authentic. Scientific testing continues to analyze its age and composition.
