Tag: Holy Face

You have written about the veil in the Vatican which is supposed to be the one with which Veronica wiped the face of Jesus, but you mentioned another one, in Manoppello, which also might be the one used by Veronica. What can you tell me about it?

While the sixth Station of the Cross comes from tradition rather than Scripture, two relics continue to be associated with Veronica’s veil – one housed in St Peter’s Basilica and another in Manoppello, Italy.
