Get the Workbook | Facilitator Guide | The Shroud of Turin is a burial cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. This image matches perfectly the description of the wounds Christ suffered during His Crucifixion. Modern science has shown the image to be anatomically accurate and that it could not have been produced by any kind of paint, dye, chemical, vapor, or scorching. Recent tests have dated the shroud to the time of Christ and have placed its origin near the Sea of Galilee. All the evidence suggest that the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Christ mentioned in the Gospels and that it bears a miraculous image of the moment of Jesus’ Resurrection. This precious relic is powerful testimony to our faith in Christ, the historicity of His Resurrection, and His claims to be divine.
