This is where, in 1355, the first recorded exhibition of the Shroud took place. 1 Shortly after its discovery, the Bishop of Turin, Henri de Poitiers, uncovered the fraud: "Eventually, after diligent inquiry and examination, he discovered the fraud and how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth being attested by the artist who had painted it, to wit, that it was a work of human skill and not miraculously wrought or bestowed. ... falsely and deceitfully, being consumed with the passion of avarice and not from any motive of devotion but only of gain, procured for their church a certain cloth cunningly painted, upon which by clever sleight of hand was depicted the twofold image of one man, that is to say the back and front, they falsely declaring and pretending that this was the actual Shroud in which our Savior Jesus Christ was enfolded in the tomb. " 3   While stored in a silver reliquary in Sainte Chapelle, Chambéry, the Shroud was nearly destroyed by fire. ...

• The Shroud of Turin.
• The Shroud of Turin first came to the attention of the public in 1355 when it was exhibited at the Church of St. ...
• The shroud soon became the subject of controversy. A report to Pope Clement argued that the shroud was merely a painting, and that it was being falsely displayed as a true relic in order to solicit donations to the church. ...
• In 1453 the shroud was acquired by de Charny's granddaughter who eventually sold it to the Duke of Savoy. The Savoys exhibited it for many decades, claiming that it was the holy shroud that had covered Christ as he lay in the tomb. ... The shroud still displays burn marks from this incident.
• Throughout the twentieth century researchers dueled back and forth over the shroud's authenticity. In 1982 a group calling itself the Shroud of Turin Research Project declared it to be genuine after studying samples lifted from the cloth using tape. However, radiocarbon tests performed later during the 1980s dated the shroud to approximately the fourteenth century, indicating that the relic was a fake. Nevertheless, shroud supporters found many reasons to dispute the radiocarbon testing, and so the debate raged on and likely will for the foreseeable future. ...

While in Chambery, in the year 1532, there was a fire in the Chapel in which the Shroud was kept. Fortunately, very little damage was done to the Shroud. Than in 1578 it was brought across the Alps to Turin, Italy where it remains to the present.

• It was alleged that pollen on the shroud proved it came from Palestine, but the source for the pollen was a freelance criminologist, Max Frei, who once pronounced the forged "Hitler Diaries" genuine. Frei's tape-lifted samples from the shroud were controversial from the outset since similar samples taken by the Shroud of Turin Research Project in 1978 had comparatively few pollens. As it turned out, after Frei's tapes were examined following his death in 1983, they also had very few pollens - although one bore a suspicious cluster on the "lead" (or end), rather than on the portion that had been applied to the shroud. ...
• Accompanying the unscientific pollen evidence were claims that faint plant images have been "tentatively" identified on the shroud. These follow previous "discoveries" of "Roman coins" over the eyes and even Latin and Greek words, such as "Jesus" and "Nazareth," that some researchers see - Rorschach-like - in the shroud's mottled stains. The floral images were reported by a psychiatrist who has taken up image analysis and made other discredited claims about the shroud image. Even pro-shroud author Ian Wilson, in his 1998 book The Blood and the Shroud, felt compelled to state: "While there can be absolutely no doubting the sincerity of those who make these claims, the great danger of such arguments is that researchers may 'see' merely what their minds trick them into thinking is there. ...

The Associated Press reported claims that the shroud bears type AB blood stains.

•    In 1978 a group of scientists (Shroud of Turin Research Project) studied the Shroud intensively for 120 hours. ...

•    Debate on whether the Shroud could be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth has been heated, especially since the 1988 Carbon-14 dating indicated the Shroud was from the medieval period (1260-1390). 11  The painting above which is from the late 16th century shows how an even later artist was not able to convincingly duplicate the features of the Shroud.

• The Shroud: The Shroud of Turin is 14 foot long linen cloth that bears the faint image of a bearded, crucified man. ... The bloodstains soak all the way through the cloth indicating two different mechanisms for the totality of the shroud; blood and image.
• Science: In 1978, twenty-four scientists comprising the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) had hands on access to the Shroud for five continuous days.

• Controversy: In 1988, the Shroud was carbon dated to the Middle Ages. ... New evidence now shows that the chemical composition of this sample was not representative of the entire shroud giving rise to the possibility of a reweave or repair of that area following the fire in 1532 that nearly destroyed the cloth. ...
• If the Shroud truly is medieval, then who was the artist more skilled than Leonardo d'Avinci and who predated him by at least 100 years? Why can't we replicate this image today? Why does the image appear almost photographic with its startlingly enhanced appearance in a photo-negative? Why does the Shroud appear to contain distance or 3-D information? There are many questions that remain unanswered. Despite science both pro and con, the Shroud remains one of the greatest mysteries in the world today.
• The good news is "Everyone loves a mystery"! And so do students especially when it comes time to do research papers and speeches.
• The Problem: The problem is that most schools have few if any books or resources on the Shroud and if they do, they are generally out of date. ... They will simply choose another subject to research not realizing the richness the Shroud offers as a topic for study.
