The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud or Holy Shroud is the single most studied ancient relic in history.

The Shroud of Turin of Jesus Christ or Turin Shroud or Holy Shroud is the single most studied ancient relic in history. A centuries-old linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered extreme physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It is believed by millions of people around the world to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth.

Hundreds of thousands of hours have been devoted to studying the Shroud in detail and conducting intensive research. There is no concrete explanation as of yet on exactly how or why the image exists.

How did the image get there? Is it evidence of a supernatural flash of light? Is it proof that Jesus Christ projected himself onto the Turin? Otherworldly?
