Is it really the burial cloth of Christ? Or is it just a regular piece of cloth as other skeptics would put it? While the original cloth is locked in a cathedral in Italy, this official and most accurate replica of the shroud gives visitors an up-close and personal look at the most studied artifact in human history. This replica was produced using the photographs taken by Barrie Schwortz, the official documenting photographer assigned by King Umberto II of Savoy.
