Recent studies conducted in 2024 have authenticated the Shroud of Turin to be approximately 2,000 years old, aligning with the time of Christ. This development challenges previous beliefs about the shroud, which many consider to be the cloth that wrapped Jesus after his crucifixion, also referred to as the Shroud of Christ. The findings suggest a potential bridge between faith and science, with chemical analysis revealing truths long hidden by time. The shroud's age confirmation has led to discussions about its influence on historical paintings of Jesus, suggesting that medieval artists may have used the shroud as a model for their depictions of Christ.
