Fine Art Print in 8-x-10 inch Professional Quality Acid-Free Bright White Matte Artist Paper 10.4 mil.
Saint Veronica, also known as Berenike, was a woman from Jerusalem who lived in the 1st century AD.
According to Church tradition, Veronica was moved with sympathy seeing Jesus carrying the cross to Calvary and gave him her veil so that he could wipe his forehead. Jesus accepted the offer, and when he returned the veil the image of his face was miraculously captured on it. The resulting relic became known as the Veil of Veronica.
The Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus was eventually approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1885. Sacrilegious and blasphemous acts today are adding to the spit and mud that Veronica wiped away that day. Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ are thus compared to Veronica wiping the face of Jesus.
