The Shroud of Turin is viewed as a religious relic and therefore needs no verification although the Vatican declares it to be the authentic winding sheet of Christ. Several studies have been done, in the late 70's and then again in the 90's and the results, while initially being thought to be negative, are now viewed as inconclusive.
No one has been able to naturally explain the phenomenon of the '3 D' effect and the inconclusiveness was caused by contamination on the shroud.

Improved Answer:
The Catholic Church has never declared the Shroud to be the genuine burial cloth of Christ nor does the Church claim it to be a fake. There is insufficient evidence to make any sort of proclamation. It is treated as a representation of the burial cloth of Christ - a work or art. However, since it 'could' be the actual burial cloth it is treated with the utmost respect and honor.

Why is the Shroud of Turin important to Christians?
A:The Shroud of Turin is not important to non-Catholics, who are generally sceptical about Catholic 'relics'. It is important to some Catholics, who 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 does become important for all Christians. because it then creates a serious problem for the authenticity of John's Gospel. John says that there was a separate cloth placed over Jesus' face (John 20:7) in line with first-century Jewish practice, whereas the image on the Shroud of Turin clearly represents Jesus as being wrapped in a single cloth.
