Ever since the Shroud of Turin was created in the fourteenth century, it has been carefully looked after. 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.

I don't believe there was a story on the Shroud of Turin in National Geographic in 1978. However, there was an article in the June 1980 issue. In 1978 the Shroud went on public display for the first time since 1933 and the Shroud of Turin Research Project was given access to the cloth. The June 1980 article addressed the work of the STURP project team. In 1981 the findings were released.

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 are the markings on the Shroud of Turin?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe markings on the Shroud of Turin are those of a dead man's body who died form crucifixion. Most Catholics believe that it is the actual burial cloth that Our Blessed Lord's Body was wrapped in when it was buried. Most modern scholarship agrees that it came from Palestine about that time.
