The Shroud of Eden, commonly known as the Shroud of Turin, is a linen cloth bearing an image of a man suffering a physical trauma relevant to crucifixion. It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy. Some say that the shroud is the very same cloth placed on the body of Jesus Christ, with its image of the face being the Holy Face of Jesus.
In the Assassin's Creed universe, The Shroud, more specifically PE66, is a Piece of Eden. Many historical figures like Jason, Joseph, David, and Jesus may have possessed it at a certain time. Its purpose still unknown, it was possibly used to cure illness, wounds, and to resurrect the deceased. Being responsible for Jesus' crucifixion, the Templars sought to possess the Shroud. Jesus' disciples however, were somehow able to recover it and used it to resurrect him. After this, traces of the shroud disappeared. It was definitely used for healing sickness, a characteristic of the shroud demonstrated in the story of the sick lady who touched Jesus' robe, whose health was then restored back to normal.

Trivia
Interestingly, in the French version of Assassin's Creed II, the Shroud was referred to as Piece of Eden #36, not #66. Whether this was a mistake in the translation or not remains to be seen.
