Where was Jesus' shroud found?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Shroud of Turin, believed by some to be the burial cloth of Jesus, was found in Turin, Italy. It has been a subject of controversy and debate, with scientific analysis yielding inconclusive results about its origins and authenticity.
