Burial Cloth
A burial cloth is a piece of fabric used to wrap a deceased person before burial. It serves both practical and ceremonial purposes, ensuring the body is treated with respect and dignity. Burial cloths can vary in material, size, and design, often reflecting cultural or religious traditions.
In many cultures, such as in Christianity, the burial cloth may be associated with specific rituals. For example, the Shroud of Turin is a famous burial cloth believed by some to be the burial wrap of Jesus Christ. These cloths can also symbolize the transition from life to death, marking the end of earthly existence.
