The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered crucifixion. It is preserved in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. The image on the shroud is faint and sepia-toned, and it is more clearly visible in negative photographs. Its origin and the nature of the image are subjects of intense debate.
The Shroud in Lent
The Lenten season is a time of reflection on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Shroud, with its image of a crucified man, offers a powerful visual aid for this reflection. It invites us to contemplate the physical and emotional pain endured by Christ, deepening our understanding of his love for humanity.
