Shroud of TurinThe Shroud of Turin (or Turin Shroud), a linen cloth bearing the image of a man, is believed by many to be a cloth worn by Jesus at the time of his burial. The cloth measuring 4.4 by 1.2 meters (14.5 by 3.9 feet), bears the inexplicable image -reversed like a photographic negative - of a crucified man. It was shown only four times in the 20th century. The shroud is the subject of intense debate among some scientists, people of faith, historians, and writers regarding where, when, and how the shroud and its images were created. Pope Benedict announced that it will go on display again in 2010. The last time the Shroud was put on public display was for the Catholic jubilee year in 2000.
