Do you believe the Shroud of Turin is the Burial Cloth of Jesus Christ?

Personally, I believe the Shroud is authentic, and will believe so until science can prove otherwise.

My faith is not a problem, it’s scientists that have the problem. When science finds one answer, it unlocks more questions.

As a point of interest, the blood type on the Shroud (AB or universal donor*) is the same as the blood type found in the Miracle of Lanciano. But that in and by itself does not prove anything. I don’t need proof, but it sure is uplifting.

*pun intended;)
 
There is also a connection of the Sudarium of Oviedo with the Shroud of Turin. Though I know little about the Sudarian of Oviedo.
 
I believe it’s real, it is very similar to the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. They have both undergone intensive scientific study, and no one can figure how A) either one was actually made and 2) how either one is still around this long after it should have rotted away. Convincing enough for me. 🤷
 
I think there will always be reasons for skeptics to dis-believe this (and Our Lady at Guadaloupe). After all, God wants us all to make a leap of faith in order to believe.

“Blessed are those who haven’t seen and yet believe”.
 
The first time I ever heard of the Shroud was when I watched a documentary on it while still a protestant. Most of the attempts to prove it false were thin in my opinion, but one made me wonder. The ability to photograph the image of a man was available long ago, and it creates the 3D Image we’ve all heard about. What’s more it could account for the head being a slighly different proportion to the rest of the body. Of course it also provides a photographic negative.

So I don’t know. The fact that there is blood on it that matches Lanciano is very intriguing to me, and makes me lean more towards it being authentic.
 
While I lean towards acceptance of the Shroud as the burial cloth of Jeus, I voted unsure. The science is unsettled and has gone back and forth. The history of the Shroud [ao at least this Shroud] is not continuous, but is compelling. That there was a Shroud of Jesus histirically is also uncertain but compelling.

Like others my faith in Jesus will not be shattered if it is not. Nor will my faith be stregnthened if it is proven to be th burial cloth of Jesus. I believe that Jesus is God, the Second Person of the Trinity. Jesus was crucified, died and was burried. Jesus rose on the third day. He ascended into heaven.

Not one of these articles of faith have anything to do with an article of cloth called the Shroud of Tourin. The Shroud would not “prove” any of those tenets of my faith.

I voted no, but I should’ve said that I’m not sure - because I’m not. I do find the arguments against it to be rather convincing, especially the case for how uncannily large for a Jew Jesus would’ve been with pronounced Germanic features, at that!

However, I also find the case for its authenticity intriguing, as well - especially considering the degree of technicality required to produce such a fraud, if it is.

The Shroud of Turin has Jewish features on it. In a Closer look there is a Hebrew word for Abba around the neck of the Man in th Shroud. The Shroud also had flowers on it that can only be found in Jerusalem.
 
If you examined the evidence you would also think it was. Those debunking it (I’m speaking of Dr. McCrone) are well known to have a history of “Scooping” the competition ie reporting/publishing information before anyone else has a chance OR the data has been fully examined.

I didn’t know about THAT connection, but I know the blood type at the miracle of lanciano matches the blood type of the cloth used to clean Christ’s body, which is kept at the basillica of the Sacred Blood in Brugge, Belgium
 
I believe the Shroud is the real deal. I think its the proof that of Jesus’ resurrection.

The proof of the Resurrection is the witness by the Apostles and the women who he appeared to, and not a piece of cloth.
As I said before it can NEVER be proven to be the burial cloth of Christ. The best that might be proven is that the cloth is 2000 years old and that has not even been proven yet.
I certainly do not need a disputed cloth for me to believe in the Resurrection.
