• An analysis of the evidence supporting the Sudarium—the face cloth used in the burial of Christ—and its relationship to the Shroud of Turin.
• The Other Shroud of Christ .
• A little-known relic in Oviedo, Spain, called the Sudarium, the cloth said to have covered Jesus' face after He was crucified, may be the key to unveiling the mystery of the Shroud of Turin. ...
• As debates have intensified about the Shroud, the 14-foot swath of linen enshrined in the Cathedral of Turin, Italy, that is believed by many to be the burial cloth of Christ, it appears that the Sudarium may be evidence of the authenticity of the Shroud. ...
• New investigations of the two burial cloths have compared blood types, patterns of stains, facial geometry, and pollen in an effort to find scientific data from the Cloth of Oviedo that might prove whether it covered the same man whose tortured image is preserved on the Shroud. ...
• Debates about the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin focus on two stumbling blocks: Carbon-14 dating tests in 1988, which placed the origin of the Shroud in the 14th century; and lack of documentation to support theories about what happened to Christ's shroud after the resurrection. Those who doubt the authenticity of the Shroud reject all evidence other than the Carbon-14 results, which coincide with the date of the first recorded exhibition of the Shroud in 1357 in Lirey, France. Clearly, if the Shroud of Turin is a 14th-century artifact, it cannot be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. Some Shroud doubters go further; they attempt to speculate on the identity of the man so cruelly crucified to achieve the "fraudulent" image. ...
• While historians sift through lurid alternative theories about crucified Templars and a Masonic Grail, ongoing artistic studies and forensic pathology research on the Shroud of Turin still suggest it may truly be an artifact of first-century Palestine. ... To many skeptics, the Shroud is at best a pious icon and at worst a medieval hoax. ...
• However, the Cloth of Oviedo, venerated in its own right for centuries in this city in Asturias, in north-central Spain, without reference to the Shroud of Turin, stirs far less controversy over its provenance. ... , which explains its tremendous significance: If forensic evidence can prove that the Shroud and the Sudarium were in contact with the same body at the time of death, it would tend to invalidate the Carbon-14 results that date the Shroud only to the 14th century. ...
• While the assumed chronology of the Shroud is veiled in the mists of medieval history, the Sudarium is a revered relic that could well have been preserved from the days of Christ's crucifixion. ...

• The most famous material find, which many Christians, at least, believe has a connection with Jesus, is the shroud of Turin, a linen fragment measuring 4. ... It was been preserved in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin since 1578. ...
• The first photograph of the shroud of Turin was taken in 1898 by an amateur photographer, who said he found on it the image of a person with wounds in his hands and feet. ... Yehoshua Schwartz, an expert on early Christianity and dean of the Faculty of Jewish Studies at Bar-Ilan University, says that the process by which the shroud of Turin came to be sanctified bears a resemblance to a similar tradition, according to which a woman called Veronica wiped the face of Jesus as he carried the cross on the Via Dolorosa, and that his image remained on the cloth she used. ...
• The dispute over the authenticity of the shroud of Turin engaged Christendom throughout the 20th century. ... Some people claim that very fuzzy letters that appear on the shroud of Turin are in fact Greek words stating, "The Nazarene condemned to be put to death. ...
• The Cardinal of Turin, among others, argued that the face imprinted on the cloth bears a striking resemblance to the description of Jesus in the New Testament.
• In the light of the dispute, an international institute to investigate the shroud of Turin was established; it created several international commissions of inquiry but has yet to reach a final conclusion on the subject. ...
• This has not stopped millions of believers from visiting Turin to view the cloth on the few occasions when it has been exhibited. On the other hand, even Pope John Paul II has been cautious about identifying the shroud of Turin with Jesus. He did kneel and pray in front of the cloth in the Turin cathedral, in 1998, but noted, in connection with the controversy, "Since it is not a matter of faith, the Church has no specific competence to pronounce on these questions. ...
• When Jesus was about 30, John the Baptist, a relative of Jesus, began to prophesy about the advent of the "kingdom of God" and the need to prepare for Judgment Day. Jesus, too, was baptized by John and began to preach the coming of the end of the world, the need to repent and the importance of moral behavior, to the point of self-abnegation at times ("turn the other cheek"). ...
