The Shroud of Turin 2002: the restoration process
June-July 2002: safely placed within the bounds of the Cathedral, the Shroud was subjected to a throrough conservative treatment:
1. The linen was separated from its old backing layer (Holland cloth), and the so-called «patches» sewn by the Poor Clares of Chambéry after the fire of 1532 were carefully removed. A new backing came to replace the former one.
2. A full-length digital scan of the Shroud linen detailed its image side and backside.
3. The photographic documentation on the Shroud has been vastly improved and updated.
