The garment with the image has been preserved and kept intact
over all these years. Scientists have studied the garment and are at their wits

chemicals or other substance back in those times. So it means that it has been
somehow supernaturally preserved without any scientific or technological
interference.
The painting has survived spilled acid, bomb explosion, prolonged
exposure to infrared and ultraviolent radiations, humid and salty environment,

its fabric. In fact, the back side of the fabric is rough and coarse, but the
front part (where the image is) is soft as silk.
