The Shroud is said to feature an imprint of Jesus’s dead body The Shroud of Turin has drawn controversy for centuries – but a new breakthrough suggests it could be authentic after all. The linen cloth is said to be the cloth that Jesus was buried in after his crucifixion, and features a faint image on the front and back of a bearded man.
The Bible says Joseph of Arimathea wrapped Jesus’s corpse in a linen shroud before placing him in a tomb, rolling a large stone to cover the entrance. The Shroud has been preserved since 1578 in the royal chapel of the cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, Italy. The cloth appears to show faint, brownish images on the front and back, depicting a gaunt man with sunken eyes who was about 5ft 7 to 6ft tall.
