<P> The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud ( Italian : Sindone di Torino , Sacra Sindone ( ˈsaːkra ˈsindone ) or Santa Sindone ) is a length of linen cloth bearing the image of a man who is alleged to be Jesus of Nazareth . The cloth itself is believed by some to be the burial shroud he was wrapped in when he was buried after crucifixion although three radiocarbon dating tests in 1988 dated a sample of the cloth to the Middle Ages . The shroud is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin , northern Italy . The Catholic Church has neither formally endorsed nor rejected the shroud , but in 1958 Pope Pius XII approved of the image in association with the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus . Pope John Paul II called the Shroud `` a mirror of the Gospel '' . </P>
