The famous Shroud of Turin is regarded as real evidence of the Easter miracle. It shows a mysterious full-body imprint with traces of blood of a crucified man. Even the face is clearly recognizable. Does the linen fabric even prove the death and resurrection of Christ?

"Those who know nothing must believe everything!" With this meaningful and provocative saying, Austrian intellectual Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) summed up the wisdom that hundreds of scientists, experts and legal scholars at the Vatican have associated with the mystery surrounding the actual authenticity of the Shroud of Turin for centuries.
