If it is regarded as "a Holy Relic" then it is revered and worshipped. It is nothing but a piece of cloth...even if it was genuine, it should be displayed as a scientific curiosity or an archeological artifact.
If it is considered "a Holy Relic" then it should be tossed in the nearest garbage bin, because there is nothing "holy" about it.
Holiness is in the spirit, not the body or the physical.
