You may be asking what is the Feast of the Holy Winding Sheet of Christ?
The Feast of the Holy Winding Sheet of Christ is a centuries-old festivity that originated around 1206 as “one of the (supposed) Winding Sheets used at the burial of Christ. It was brought to Rigney, France by Otto de La Roche, and the feast of its arrival (Susceptio) was ordered to be kept on July 11th”1.
Centuries later in 1495, another feast was appointed “at Chambéry, in Savoy, to honour the so-called sudario of Christ”2 and was officially approved “in 1506 by Pope Julius II“3. This feast is celebrated on May the 4th or better known as “the day after the Invention of the Cross.”3
