Pope Benedict XVI announces Turin Shroud display for 2010
From The TimesJune 3, 2008
Vatican City Pope Benedict XVI has announced that the Shroud of Turin will go on public display in 2010. The shroud is held by some to be the burial cloth of Christ. It is kept in Turin Cathedral and is rarely put on public view. The shroud bears an imprint believed by some Catholics to be the image of Christ. A carbon-dating test conducted in 1988 declared that it came from medieval times but more recent testing concluded that it originated in Jerusalem before the 8th Century. The cloth, measuring 4.4m by 1.2m (14.5ft by 3.9ft), was last put on public display ten years ago. (Reuters)
