After the careful restoration which took place in 2002 (the patches added by the nuns after the fire which devastated Chambery were all removed), this is the first time that Sacred Shroud of Turin has been put on display (it usually happens once every ten years).
An event which is attracting thousands of people from all over the world.
The origins of the cloth has over the years aroused debates among theologians and scientists, but believers ’s faith in its authenticity has never sagged.
The city of Turin is doing its best to welcome visitors and up to now its efforts have been rewarded.
