As part of our Centenary celebrations, a replica of the Shroud of Turin and supporting exhibition will be displayed at Blackburn Cathedral from Monday 23rd March until Sunday 12th April 2026.
It is a life-size replica of the original burial shroud believed to have been used to wrap the body of Jesus after the Crucifixion.
This life-sized replica will offer guests a unique chance to examine it in detail. It provides a fascinating opportunity to study this sacred cloth and for some this has proved to be a deeply moving and profound experience which has strengthened their faith.
In addition to the life-size replica of the Shroud, an accompanying exhibition features evidence revealed by historical and scientific research.
Featuring displays and information boards, it explains how the Shroud’s image and bloodstains align with Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
