Shroud usually refers to an item, such as a cloth, that covers or protects some other object. The term is most often used in reference to burial sheets, such as the famous Shroud of Turin or Tachrichim (burial shrouds) that Jews are dressed for burial. Traditionally, burial shrouds are made of wool or linen, though any material can be used so long as it is made of natural fibre.
