A life-sized replica of the Shroud of Turin is on display at St George’s Cathedral

The exhibition of The Cross, the Resurrection and the Shroud of Turin is at St. George’s Cathedral, Southwark until the 21 April.

At the exhibition, visitors can see a life-sized photographic replica of the Shroud of Turin and learn more about the mystery of the Shroud.

The Shroud in Turin is a length of linen cloth that bears a faint image of the front and back of a crucified man. It is believed by many to be the actual burial Shroud used to wrap the body of the Lord Jesus after his crucifixion, and upon which his bodily image is miraculously imprinted.

The exhibition will also feature other displays and information boards, which cover evidence revealed by historical and scientific research, explaining how the Shroud’s image and bloodstains align with Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Visitors can see the exhibition, for free, until Monday 21 April.

St George’s Cathedral is open Monday–Friday from 7:15am–5pm, Saturday from 9am–7pm, and Sunday from 7:30am–7pm. Address: St. George’s Cathedral, Lambeth Rd, London SE1 7HY.
