Experts begin tests on ancient Turin shroud
Twenty five global experts start four day tests on a 14 by 3 foot linen bearing a bearded crucified man image. The Turin shroud, housed in San Giovanni cathedral, is central to Catholic tradition and aims to explain the image’s origin via modern science. Tests include X-ray analysis and surface sampling under Holy Shroud Guild supervision, with results to be reviewed by Italy’s exiled royal line before church release.
