In the heart of Christian Europe

The cloth that Jesus was allegedly wrapped in after he died is considered to be one of the most valuable relics. To scientists, it is just a piece of cloth, woven from flax thread, which can be measured, weighed and taken apart up to the individual fibres. But the truth about its origin is still shrouded with many legends and secrets. You can find the original in Turin, Italy, and one of its copies is available in East Bohemia.
