_______________

Some Catholics believe the Shroud of Turin to be the very shroud in which Jesus was wrapped after his crucifixion, although there is compelling evidence to the contrary. If it really is the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped, this creates a serious problem for the authenticity of John's Gospel, since the Gospel says that there was a separate cloth placed over Jesus' face (John 20:7), in line with first-century practice, whereas the image on the Shroud of Turin clearly represents Jesus as being wrapped in a single cloth.

What is Shourd of Turin?

The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing stains in the image of a man who underwent physical trauma consistent with crucifixion. Some people believe that the shroud was the shroud placed over Jesus Christ's body after the Crucifixion, and that it is his body that the Shroud bears the image of, but that debate is ongoing.


Why hasn't the Shroud of Turin deteriorated with time?

Ever since the Shroud of Turin was created in the fourteenth century, it has been carefully looked after. At first, this was because veneration of the Shroud represented a valuable source of income, more recently because it represents a valuable means of affirming the faith of Catholics. It is now rarely even shown, so as to avoid further deterioration. The Shroud of Turin did suffer some minor damage in a fire.


Why do people believe that a picture of Jesus is a genuine imprint of his body?

OpinionThe picture of Jesus is on the Shroud of Turin, one of several 'genuine' shrouds to have come forward since medieval times. Perhaps some people are willing this to be the real imprint of the body of Jesus because they do not want to believe that the Church has been deceiving the faithful for centuries. Or perhaps they want some proof, any proof, that Jesus lived and was crucified.
