11. The Shroud Of Turin

Seeming to bear the image of a man, the Shroud of Turin is believed to be part of Jesus of Nazareth’s burial garment. Made out of linen, rectangular in shape, and a Christian icon, the Shroud has undergone extensive scientific testing, including carbon dating and bloodstain verification.

While there remain numerous questions about the authenticity of the Shroud – it’s been accepted and denied many times over – it remains at the heart of Jesus’s story for millions of Christians worldwide.

The Shroud of Turin is encased for its protection at the cathedral in Turin, Italy, but was livestreamed to celebrate Easter in April 2020.
