The Shroud of Turin is one of the most studied and controversial artifacts in history. It is also one of the most important in the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The linen cloth that is said to be the burial garment of Jesus has been revered by many popes\u2014especially in modern times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI spent several minutes praying in front of the Shroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so did Pope Francis in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, new scientific discoveries have been made, confirming that the cloth does date back to the time of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Institute of Crystallography in Italy conducted a new X-ray dating method on a portion of the linen. The results showed the cloth is significantly older than what was found in a dating test conducted in 1988. The new results revealed the Shroud is indeed a 2,000-year-old relic, as believed by Christian tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this new discovery isn't the only reason why the Shroud is back in the news\u2014it has also inspired a new artificial intelligence image of Jesus. This image, based on the face of Jesus in the Shroud, has gone viral across social media networks and matches traditional depictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Shroud of Turin was first discovered in 1354 and currently resides in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
