I am a Christian. Honestly, I don't think we'll ever know for sure. It is unlikely, but we'd all like to believe it. To me, though, in the end, it's really not all that important.
For you guys that say you don't know:
The shroud of Turin is supposedly the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in when he was put in the tomb. It was left after he ascended into heaven.

You can believe the Shroud of Turin is not real and still be Christian.
Nobody knows for sure, the carbon dating test they have done on it have disagreed with each other and The Vatican isn't talking, so we may never know.

There is no way to prove that the Shoud of Turin is in fact the burial shroud of Christ. That said, the evidence supporting the claim that it is the burial shroud of Christ is overwhelming.
Personally, I believe it is. That notwithstanding, it is still nothing more than a simple piece of linen that once held a dead body. I serve a risen Saviour.

No I don't. I believe Christ, purposely, did not leave any would be relics behind because people would soon turn from God and worship the item as god. We are idol worshipers by nature, proof of that is the fact that anywhere you go on the planet, no matter how primitive the people, they have some sort of religion and they worship something.
If we had anything of Christ still left, there would be a big shrine there with multitudes bowing down to it. God would not promote idolatry.

Ancient Jewish burial methods, as described in John 11, would not leave markings like that; therefore, I cannot believe that it is actually the burial cloth of Jesus. Whether or not it is an authentic mark or a forgery is another matter.

I couldn't really say. I think it's possible, but on the other hand, I know of a lot of religious 'relics' that have been faked over the years. I'd have to see what the scientist peoples have to say about it.

nope. the shroud was something seized upon by the Church to provide physical evidence for Jesus.

-No, its a medieval relic, all of which are probably fakes. The shroud may be real, but not of Jesus.
