Blood Transfer to the Shroud of Turin: The Washing Hypothesis Revisited
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study examined how washing a body after death would affect the resulting bloodstain patterns, applying these findings to the Shroud of Turin. Simulating post-mortem bleeding, the researchers observed that serum halos, a characteristic of clotted blood, do not form if the blood is from a washed body. This challenges the hypothesis that the body in the Shroud, believed by some to be Jesus, was washed before burial.

This study used human blood samples to simulate the conditions of a body after death and found that if the body had been washed, as some believe happened to Jesus before burial, certain bloodstains on the Shroud of Turin would look different.
