Scientists make startling discovery after analyzing cloth ‘Jesus was buried in’

A controversial linen shroud – regarded by some to be the one Jesus was buried in – has baffled the world for more than centuries.

When it was first exhibited in the 1350s, the Shroud of Turin was touted as the actual burial shroud used to wrap the mutilated body of Christ after his crucifixion.

Also known as the Holy Shroud, it bears a faint image of the front and back of a bearded man, which many believers is Jesus’ body miraculously imprinted onto the fabric.
