You mean "from ~33 to 1204"? In Constantinople in the care of the Eastern Church?

According to other documentation, history, and legend, the Shroud was taken in about 35 AD—after Jesus resurrection—by Thaddeus to King Abgar of Edessa to cure him of a skin affliction. It remained revered there as the Image of Edessa (a facial image only as the cloth was displayed, folded in a frame) until the city was taken by Iconoclastic Persians in the 4th Century. The cloth was walled up in the "Archway of Vaults" to protect it from destruction by the non-believers. It was left there, lost, until the 6th Century when it was found in the immured in a hidden vault in the City Gate when the gates were being repaired about 19 years after being damaged a flood in 525. As the Image of Edessa—the Holy Mandylion— it was brought to Constantinople to the Hagia Sophia on August 15, 944, as attested to by the Sermon of Gregory Referendarius, the Arch Deacon of the Hagia Sophia.
