AnswerThere are no genuine artefacts from the crucifixion of Jesus. In fact, until the fourth century, no one ever appears to have been interested in knowing the whereabouts of any such artefacts.

Then, in the fourth century, Emperor Constantine attempted to convert the entire empire to Christianity and would spare no expense in doing so. His mother, Helena, visited Palestine and found, to her own satisfaction, a whole range of important sites and artefacts associated with the birth and death of Jesus. She miraculously found, buried but intact, the three crosses on which Jesus and the two others were crucified and was even able to identify which cross was that of Jesus. Part of the 'True Cross' have been distributed throughout the ancient empire, leading some to suggest that all the pieces would make several crosses.

The Shroud of Turin, one of several shrouds touted in the Middle Ages as the original shroud in which Jesus was wrapped, has now been conclusively been demonstrated to be a relic from the twelfth century. 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.

Another artefact of dubious provenance is the original crown of thorns.
