A:Yes. The cloth now known as the Shroud of Turin first appeared about 1355 at a little church in Liry, in north-central France. Its owner, a soldier of fortune named Geoffroy de Charney, claimed it as the authentic shroud of Christ, although he was never to explain how he acquired such a fabulous possession. According to a later bishop's report, the shroud was being used as part of a faith-healing scam.
