The Mystery of the Shroud of Turin

The Shroud of Turin is either the greatest religious relic in human history or the most elaborate

medieval forgery ever created. The Curious Tale of the Shroud of Turin revolves around

a centuries-old linen cloth bearing the faint, negative image of a crucified man,

believed by many to be Jesus Christ, A long, 3:1 herringbone linen cloth,

about 14 feet by 3.5 feet, featuring front and back images of a crucified man.

And millions believe it wrapped the body of Jesus Christ himself. It displays wounds

consistent with crucifixion, including nail marks in the wrists and feet (through the

ankles), crown of thorns, scourging, and a spear wound in the side.
