The Shroud of Turin !!!

( http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/03/21/shroud-of-turin.html)
The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have been physically traumatized in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, from which it derives its most common name. Some believe the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus and that his image was recorded on its fibers at his resurrection. Others contend it is a medieval hoax or forgery.

Originally not scheduled until 2025, Pope Benedict XVI has announced that the Shroud will be on display for a short time in the spring of 2010.
