The mystery of the Shroud of Turin has been debated for centuries. First exhibited in a small church in France in 1353 or 1357, the shroud supposedly shows the image of Jesus of Nazareth. The shroud is believed to be the cloth that Jesus’s body was wrapped in after his crucifiction. Leaving Jesus inside the shroud created an imprint of his face and much of his body, including his hands, folded over the groin for modesty’s sake.

The shroud is frequently the center of controversy, with each side feeling strongly that they are correct about the artifact. In 1988, a carbon dating test was run on a small corner of the shroud, which resulted in a given date of creation between 1260-1390 – well within a range to assume that it was falsely created around the time of its first exhibition.
Believers point to the fact that the shroud was damaged by fire and mended in 1532, which could skew the carbon results. The Vatican has never taken an official stance on the Shroud of Turin, although various popes have supported its claim of showing the face of Jesus. Support
