1. What is the Shroud of Turin? #8
4. Has been in Turin since 1578 #14

On 14 September 1578 the Shroud arrived in Turin, Italy from Chambéry, France[2].

[Right (enlarge)[3]: Print published in 1578 based on a copper engraving by Turin's Giovanni Testa[4], depicting the public exposition of the Shroud in Turin on 12 October 1578[5].]

Since then, except for comparatively brief periods in times of war, the Shroud has remained in Turin[6], either in Turin's St John the Baptist Cathedral or the adjoining Chapel of the Holy Shroud[7].

Continued in part #15 of this series.
