there. but the bible doesn't mention what happens to the linen cloths next. more than 1,300 years later, a shroud showing the crucified body of jesus appeared from out of nowhere in a small village in northeastern france. when it was moved to turin, 40,000 people were there to welcome it. then centuries later, in 1898, it became a global phenomenon, when italian secondo pia took the world's first photograph of the shroud. >> all of a sudden, a negative image of the man of the shroud pops out at him. it's like staring at the face of jesus.
