A scientist in Italy has provided new research suggesting the bloodstains found on the Shroud of Turin — a linen cloth that many believe was Jesus Christ's burial garment — are consistent with the types of torture faced by Jesus as described in biblical accounts.

A study by Professor Giulio Fanti from the University of Padua finds a pattern of bloodstains that align with historical descriptions of the crucifixion.

Fanti has studied the Shroud of Turin for over 25 years and published his findings through the Shroud Science Group. He claims that a macroscopic and microscopic analysis finds that the markings and stains on the cloth are "consistent with the description of Jesus Christ in the holy Bible and, in particular, within the four canonical Gospels."
