Shroud of Turin image not from body

istoe.com.br (Portuguese)

A new study suggests the Shroud of Turin's image was not formed by contact with a human body. Brazilian researcher Cicero Moraes used 3D modeling to analyze the artifact. Moraes's research indicates the image's flat, rigid appearance is more consistent with a low-relief mold than a real body. This suggests an artistic creation rather than a direct imprint. The study adds to ongoing debates about the Shroud's origins and dating, with previous research yielding conflicting results. The Catholic Church has not taken an official stance on its authenticity.
