What is the Shroud

It is an object of great importance for Christian believers. It is a rectangular linen cloth that shows the marks of the body of Jesus Christ. According to tradition, the Shroud is the funerary cloth in which Jesus was wrapped after being taken down from the cross. Its defenders assure that the image that was printed on the cloth is “a divine miracle”

The authentic Holy Shroud or Holy Shroud is found in the city of Turin, Italy, in a chapel built specifically to house this symbol that, for hundreds of years, has been the subject of debate and study. In 1978, American scientists assured that there was no evidence to prove that it was a forgery and determined that the image that is recreated on the cloth is “a complete mystery”.
