Some Catholics 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 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.

At first, this was because veneration of the Shroud represented a valuable source of income, more recently because it represents a valuable means of affirming the faith of Catholics. It is now rarely even shown, so as to avoid further deterioration. The Shroud of Turin did suffer some minor damage in a fire.

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.

OpinionThe picture of Jesus is on the Shroud of Turin, one of several 'genuine' shrouds to have come forward since medieval times. Perhaps some people are willing this to be the real imprint of the body of Jesus because they do not want to believe that the Church has been deceiving the faithful for centuries. Or perhaps they want some proof, any proof, that Jesus lived and was crucified.
