All you people know that the Shroud of Turin is a fake, made up by the Catholic Church to delude its devoted, right?
”Actual shroud “blood” samples have been shown, by internationally known forensic serologists (blood experts), to fail all of the microscopical, chemical, biological, and instrumental tests for blood—not surprisingly, since the stains were suspiciously still red and artistically “picturelike.” One expert found traces of apparent paint, and famed microanalyst Walter C. McCrone (1996) identified the “blood” as red ocher and vermilion pigments in a collagen tempera medium.The evidence of painting is further underscored by the shroud’s provenance (historical record) before the middle of the fourteenth century, at which time the fake “relic” was being used in a faith-healing scam and an artist confessed he had “cunningly painted” the image of the crucified Christ. And in 1988, radiocarbon testing by three laboratories agreed that the cloth dated to ca. 1260-1390—the time of the reported confession (Nickell 2013). Today, the “blood”—and with it the “shroud” itself—is still fake.”

“Not only is the Turin Shroud probably a medieval fake but it is just one of an astonishing 40 so-called burial cloths of Jesus, according to an eminent church historian.Antonio Lombatti said the false shrouds circulated in the Middle Ages, but most of them were later destroyed.
He said the Turin Shroud itself – showing an image of a bearded man and venerated for centuries as Christ’s burial cloth – appears to have originated in Turkey some 1,300 years after the Crucifixion.
”Lombatti, of the Università Popolare in Parma, Italy, cited work by a 19th century French historian who had studied surviving medieval documents. ‘The Turin Shroud is only one of the many burial cloths which were circulating in the Christian world during the Middle Ages. There were at least 40,’ said Lombatti.‘Most of them were destroyed during the French Revolution. Some had images, others had blood-like stains, and others were completely white.’
