===**NOTE:** Members of the Shroud Science Group are invited to edit these pages and add others.

What is the Shroud of Turin?
The Shroud is a single piece of linen cloth about 14 feet long by 3½ feet wide. The twill is a 3 over 1 herringbone weave. It is bloodstained and shows faint front and back images of a man who, by the visible wounds, appears to have been crucified. He seems to be resting in burial repose. See Graphic

What is the ShroudScience Group?
It is a group of about one hundred of scholars and researchers from all the world open to the inclusions of new members if they are qualified to discuss scientific aspects. More details
