    About this ebook

    The mysterious Shroud of Turin has baffled believers, skeptics and researchers for centuries.

    The cloth might be the actual winding sheet used to cover the body of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion. Or it might be the greatest hoax in history.

    The Shroud will be on rare public display in late 2020. Planners estimate 3 million visitors will descend on Turin, a crowd not seen since the 2006 Winter Olympics.

    This book discusses ten of the most interesting mysteries surrounding the Shroud. Braced with the information you will find inside, your experience viewing the cloth in person or studying the event of the exhibit will be all the more fascinating.
