Shroud of Turin
The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot-long linen revered to be the burial cloth of Jesus can not be proven as a medieval fake.
Italy’s National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Development released their latest findings last November. Modern technologies were used to test the Holy Shroud’s authenticity. For the past five years, scientists attempted to replicate the Christ-like image on modern linen by using ultraviolet light and examined X-rays of the fabric. The tests were able to achieve a ”very superficial, Shroud-like coloration of linen yarns.” They concluded that the Shroud of Turin could not have been doctored in Medieval times and that the image may have been a result to an intense source of light – no man-made light would produce that much strength.
The Holy Shroud is owned by the Vatican and resides in a chamber in the Cathedral of Turin in Italy.
