Sindonology
Sindonology
Term given to studies relating to the Turin Shroud, a burial shroud that some people have promoted as the one in which Jesus was wrapped after his crucifixion. A first Sindonological Congress, held in Turin in 1939, was attended by scholars, primarily Roman Catholic, who supported the claims of the Shroud, though the majority of those who have studied the cloth have pronounced it a product of the Middle Ages.
