A recent study of the Shroud of Turin supports the biblical account that Jesus was buried without washing. Dr. Kelly Kearse reexamined the 'washing hypothesis' and his tests indicated that bloodstains on the Shroud were from an unwashed body. These findings fit Jewish burial customs, which prohibit washing bodies that died violently. The presence of serum halos around blood clots indicates that blood came from fresh wounds. This conclusively supports the traditional view against some earlier claims suggesting Jesus' body was washed before burial.
Dr Kearse's analysis of bloodstains on the Shroud of Turin suggests that they originated from an unwashed body, aligning with Jewish burial customs described in the Bible.
Key discovery was the visibility of serum halos around blood clots on the Shroud, which proves blood came from fresh wounds and not a washed body.
