Image for The Shroud

The Shroud

The Shroud of Turin is a length of linen cloth believed by some to bear the miraculous image of Jesus Christ's face and body after his crucifixion. It measures about 14 feet long and 3.5 feet wide, featuring faint impressions that resemble a man who appears to have wounds consistent with crucifixion. Originating in the Middle Ages, its authenticity has been debated, with scientific tests yielding mixed results—some suggesting it could be a medieval forgery, others supporting its antiquity. Regardless, it remains a significant religious relic and a fascinating subject for historical and scientific investigation.
