veronica

From: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008

veronica [Lat., probably connected with Greek Berenice ], relic preserved in St. Peter's Church, Rome. It is said to be a veil that a woman used to wipe the face of Jesus as he was on the way to Calvary. The cloth retained the print of his face. The woman, often called Veronica, is not listed in official calendars of saints. The relic is commonly called Veronica's veil.
