The Shroud of Turin

Many people believe the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. It is made with linen cloth and is about thirteen and a half feet long by four and a half feet wide. It has been dated in various time periods, but those that have faith that it is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, believe it is from the first century. Some carbon dating testing, however, indicates that the Shroud is from the thirteenth and fourteenth century. For this reason, many people debate when the Shroud was made or whether or not it is authentic. The Shroud of Turin is real because of the image on the Shroud, the evidence of pollens and flowers, and the bloodstains on the Shroud.
The Shroud of Turin was first spotted in Lirey, France
