<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 negative image of a man who is alleged to be Jesus of Nazareth . It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin , Piedmont , northern Italy . The cloth itself is believed by some to be the burial shroud that Jesus was wrapped in when he was buried after crucifixion . It is first securely attested in 1390 , when a local bishop wrote that the shroud was a forgery and that an unnamed artist had confessed . Radiocarbon dating of a sample of the shroud material is consistent with this date . </P>
