New Study Challenges Authenticity of Shroud of Turin

Research suggests the Shroud of Turin may be a medieval Christian art piece rather than a relic of Jesus Christ.

The Shroud of Turin, traditionally believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus, is now thought to date back only to the 14th century.
Brazilian graphics expert Cicero Moraes used virtual simulations to show that the shroud's image could not have been formed by wrapping a human body.
The study suggests the shroud's image is more consistent with a bas-relief technique, where a shallow carving creates an impression.
Historical analyses have long debated the shroud's authenticity, with some claiming it was painted with pigments rather than stained with blood.
The Vatican has historically fluctuated in its stance on the shroud, reflecting the ongoing debate over its origin and significance.
