Acheropite
Acheropite
Term used to describe a supernormally produced portrait on cloth. Another term, used for a cloth that bears the miraculous portrait of Jesus, is veronica, based on an apocryphal legend of a woman who wiped the face of Jesus during the procession to the Cross. The controversial Turin Shroud is one of the more interesting examples of such a cloth.
