More On: Shroud of Turin
Behind the mystery of the Shroud of Turin, scientific evidence has been found
It has scientific backing...
A 2022 study found proof that the Shroud of Turin was made around 2000 years ago.
Even though the research isn't new in the short term, CBN wrote a long piece about how the evidence tells the story of the Shroud's existence. Britannica says that the Shroud is made of linen and is thought to be the funeral clothes of Jesus Christ.
The marks on the Holy Shroud look like they show a peaceful-looking man's face, wounds from being nailed to a cross, cuts from being beaten on the back, and blood. "It seems so peaceful compared to all the violence you see in the rest of the body," Brian Hyland, a keeper at the Museum of the Bible, told CBN.

Even though there have been doubts about the Shroud's authenticity throughout history, many of the ideas about it have been proven wrong. This includes the idea that Leonardo da Vinci took a picture of the shroud, making it one of the first photos ever taken.
"The Shroud was shown to the public 100 years before Leonardo da Vinci was born. Barrie Schwortz, who took pictures of the Shroud in the 1970s, told CBN, "He was a good artist, but not that good." He also talked about tests done in the past with samples from the Shroud.
"The one and only sample they took didn't match anything else on the fabric because it had been changed," he said.
The pollen study showed that the Shroud has been all over the world during its time on earth. "A lot of the pollen samples that were collected came from plants that are native not only to the Middle East but also to the area around Judea, Palestine, and Syria and stayed there at that time," Hyland told CBN. Pollen from the area around Constantinople is also there. Europe sends a lot of pollen."
More study needs to be done to be sure that the Shroud is real, but its place in history will never change. Another expert told CBN that the fact that it even exists is "miraculous."
