In 1355, or close thereto, a 3-foot wide and 14-foot long linen cloth suddenly appeared in history. Greeted rapturously by millions of Christians, it has maintained its acceptance as the true Shroud of Christ from 1300 years earlier. In 1978, a group of about 30 U.S. scientists and engineers studied the Shroud in great detail. All but one concluded the cloth is the burial Shroud of Christ.
