No one really knows. That is why it has been so controversial. The chemical composition making up the image is know to be caused by a chemical reaction on the surface of the fibers from the leftover residue of soap and the starch from which the cloth was treated when it was made. How it formed an actual negative image is still a mystery.
What else can I help you with?
Was the Turin shroud real or fake?
The Shroud of Turin is a real piece of cloth. However, science supposedly proved it was a forgery made about 600 years ago using carbon dating. New discoveries though have shown that a special chemical covering the shroud causes innacurate carbon dating. No one will ever know for sure whether this shroud actually covered Jesus after his death, but it is still a fascinating artifact.
Why do people see the Shroud of Turin as evidence of the resurrection of Jesus?
The Shroud is seen as evidence of the resurrection due to the image itself. It is a negative, impressed upon the cloth approximately 1800 years before anyone imagined negatives. It was only after the invention of photography that we even had an idea of a "negative" image. The best science has concluded that the image was made by a burst of radiation which might have been put out when a body miraculously came back to life. Although the fibers have been changed - in this negative sense - they have not been burnt. I do not understand all the science behind it, I do know that many scientists over the years have converted from atheism to Christianity on the basis of examining the shroud up close.
Where was Jesus' shroud found?
A:Several 'shrouds of Jesus' exist, most famously the Shroud of Turin, but little is known of where they were supposedly found. Expert evidence is that none of them was the genuine shroud of Jesus. However, a shroud has been found, that must have been similar to one used for Jesus. Archaeologists from the Hebrew University and the Albright Research Institute, both in Jerusalem, have discovered the first known burial shroud in Jerusalem from the time of Christ's crucifixion. The shroud was found around the remains of a man in a sealed chamber of a burial cave in the Hinnom Valley overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. Researchers say the weave and design of the shroud discovered in a burial cave near Jerusalem's Old City are completely different to the Turin Shroud. It was made with a simple two-way weave - not the twill weave used on the Turin Shroud, which textile experts say was introduced more than 1,000 years after Christ lived. Instead of being a single sheet like the famous item in Turin, there was a separate piece for the head. This was very important because when they brought someone to burial they would place the head wrapping separately on the face in case the person wasn't actually dead and woke up again, they would be able to blow off the face wrapping and shout for help.
What has the Turin Shroud got to do with Jesus?
In reality not very much. The Catholic Church believes the shroud is the burial garment of Christ. This has never been proven, although the shroud has been tested several times. All the tests were inconclusive. Our faith in Christ is not based on this shroud, but on the Word of God.Improved Answer:The Catholic Church has never made an official pronouncement about the Shroud of Turin being either genuine or fake. Each individual may come to a personal conclusion. As far as the Church is concerned, it is a pious piece of art, much like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
What material was the Shroud of Turin imprinted on?
AnswerThe Shroud of Turin was made from a linen cloth with a twill weave, as used during the Middle Ages. It has been carbon-dated to around 1250-1390 CE, which is consistent with the date of the reported forger's confession.
How does the Turin Shroud help us focus on Jesus?
The Shroud of Turin is reliably considered to be a fraudulent relic from medieval times, one of several 'genuine' shrouds that turned up over the centuries. Use it, if you wish, to remember the crucifixion but be careful not to conflate its dubious past with that of Jesus.Catholic View:The Catholic Church has never made an official pronouncement about the Shroud of Turin being either genuine or fake.

How was the Shroud of Turin made?
If that question could be resolved the person to answer the mystery would become an overnight celebrity. Right now, there are many theories but no firm answers.
What is the Shroud of Turin made from?
The actual material of the shroud is linen, produced around 1250-1390 CE. In 1988, three laboratories (at Oxford, Zurich, and the University of Arizona) used accelerator mass spectrometry to carbon-date samples of the shroud, all arriving at approximately the same age. Microanalyst Walter C. McCrone examined tape-lifted samples from the shroud and identified the supposed blood as tempera paint containing red ochre and vermilion along with traces of rose madder. The shroud is made of linen which was used 2000 year ago.
What was the blood group of Jesus Christ?
From analysis of the shroud of Turin, some people have said that Jesus was a type O- blood type (which is the universal donor), but it would be difficult or even impossible to confirm.
How does the Shroud of Turin prove Jesus existed?
A:As a medieval forgery, the Shroud of Turin tells us nothing about the death of Jesus. If indeed it were the very shroud in which Jesus was buried, it would contradict the description in John's Gospel and thus cast doubt on the Gospel as a whole.John 19:39-40, 20:5-7 specifically state that the body was 'wound' with linen cloths and a large quantity of burial spices ( myrrh and aloes). Still another cloth (the napkin) covered his face and head, as was Jewish custom during the first century. In contrast, the Shroud of Turin represents a single, draped cloth with an image of the face and head. It was not wound around the body and there was no separate napkin covering the face of the image. Also, there is no evidence of any burial spices.
Where can you obtain two videos one that contains an interview with the members of the Shroud of Turin Sturp team made shortly after 1978 and another made 20 years later?
Probably on YOU-TUBE. You can find anything on there that is in Video form.
Who made the Turin Shroud?
Another answer from our community:No one knows who made the shroud of Turin. All we know is that it is said to have been the burial clothe of Jesus and that his body is imprinted on it.
