The original Shroud of Turin is maintained by the Roman Catholic Church
in Turin, Italy and is believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus
Christ.
The
Shroud Display is the main feature of Garden Tomb Shroud Center at Believers,
and offers an opportunity to view life-sized black & white transparencies
taken of the original Shroud that depict, in amazing clarity, details
of the crucified man found on the famous Shroud of Turin.
These
4’x 8’ images were made from the original negatives from the
photos taken by the 1978 STURP (Shroud of Turin Research Project)
team member, Barrie Schwortz.
There
are fewer than 10 Shroud Centers in the United States and the Garden
Tomb Shroud Center at Believers is the only Shroud Center in Texas.
Come see the incredible and very detailed images of the Shroud,

Christian Fellowship, home of the Garden Tomb Shroud Center, is
