The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. This miraculous object, said to be the burial cloth of Christ, came to light in Turin the Middle Ages where it is now kept, although rarely shown, because of its fragility. It has been the subject of great devotion and also of intense scientific study. The image, showing the marks of Christ's crucifixion, does not appear to have been been painted, but has been miraculously imprinted into the cloth. Meditation upon the Holy Face of Jesus, as depicted in the Turin Shroud, forms the basis of the Devotion ot the Holy Face of Jesus.
