Shroud
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,
mound shroud,
grave clothes,
winding-cloths or
winding-sheets, such as the famous
Shroud of Turin or
Tachrichim (burial shrouds) that
Jews are dressed in for burial. Traditionally, mound shrouds are made of white
cotton,
wool or
linen, though any material can be used so long as it is made of
natural fibre. Intermixture of two or more such fibres is forbidden, a proscription that ultimately derives from the
Torah,
viz.,
Deut. 22:11.
