Experts have claimed the Shroud of Turin
is stained with the blood of a torture victim, supporting claims it was
used to bury Jesus.
They say the linen
cloth, believed to have been used to wrap Christ's body after
crucifixion, contains 'nanoparticles' which are not typical of the blood
of a healthy person.
The alleged findings contradict claims the face of Jesus was painted on by forgers in medieval times.
