More than 600,000 people received free tickets to see for themselves the "Turin Shroud" when it was displayed at Turin's Duomo church in April next to Easter.

>>> Is theTurin shroud used to bury the body of Christ?

This cloth with a size of 4.4x1.1m is believed by many Catholics to be the cloth used to shroud the Lord Jesus after his body was taken down from the cross.

"The Shroud of Turin" has a picture of a man wearing a thorny crown, bearded face, and body with wounds that look like they have just been crucified.

For many people, it is the image of Jesus when he died. But there are many people who believe that this is a fake fabric.

The fact that the cloth was only shown to the public 5 times in more than a century has made this item mysterious. The need to see the cloth was so great, since 2000 until this time, it has been displayed three times in 2000, 2010, and 2013 and attracted millions of subscribers to see it firsthand.

The controversy surrounding the origin of the fabric has occurred over the past several decades with the participation of many scientists and scholars.

The first detailed study took place in 1988, when researchers at the Universities of Tucson, Zurich and Oxford took fabric samples and used radioactive isotope methods to see the age of the fabric. They unite together in one conclusion that this cloth was created between 1260 and 1390.

This coincides with the detail that the cloth was first mentioned in ancient texts in 1355, when it was stored in a chapel in Troyes, France. However, the father Henry de Poitiers, bishop of Troyes, declared that this was not the cloth that had covered Jesus.

Since 1988, the Vatican has not allowed scientists to consider this fabric again, until 2013, when a group of scientists from the universities of Padova, Modena, Bologna and Frascati of Italy, after a thorough study of the fabric by various methods, confirmed that "the Shroud of Turin" is true.

In 2014, Turin Polytechnic scientists made another assumption about the image on the shroud. Professor Alberto Carpinteri, the head of this scientific group, thinks that the neutrons released in a Jerusalem earthquake in 33 AD may have created a picture on the shroud and affected the age of the plate. fabric, falsifying test results with radioisotopes.

From time to time, the Holy See always considered "Shroud of Turin" a Catholic treasure. Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI called the cloth a "symbol". Pope Francis I will visit the shroud during a trip he calls "pilgrimage to the holy shroud".

On the opening of the shroud to the public this time, people also displayed the painting "Crying with the corpse of the Lord" by the Renaissance artist Fra Angelico in 1436.
