sentation of Jesus, preceding the Shroud of Turin.[8]
Saint Veronica was mentioned in the reported visions of
Jesus by Sister Marie of St Peter, a Carmelite nun who
lived in Tours, France, and started the devotion to the
Holy Face of Jesus. In 1844, Sister Marie reported that
in a vision, she saw Saint Veronica wiping away the spit
and mud from the face of Jesus with her veil on the way to
Calvary. She said that sacrilegious and blasphemous acts
today are adding to the spit and mud that Saint Veronica
wiped away that day. According to Sr Marie of St Peter,
in her visions Jesus told her that he desired devotion to
His Holy Face in reparation for sacrilege and blasphemy.
Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ are thus compared to
Saint Veronica wiping the face of Jesus.[12][13]
The Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus was eventually
approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1885. St Veronica is commemorated on 12 July.

that Christ gave her a portrait of himself on a cloth, with
which she later cured the Emperor Tiberius. The linking of this with the bearing of the cross in the Passion,
and the miraculous appearance of the image only occurs
around 1380, in the internationally popular book Meditations on the life of Christ.[9] The story of Veronica is celebrated in the sixth Station of the Cross in many Anglican,
Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist and Western Orthodox
churches.[3][10][11]

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the name
“Veronica” comes from the Latin vera, meaning “true”
or “Truthful”, and the Greek eikon, meaning “image";
the Veil of Veronica was therefore largely regarded in
medieval times as the “true image”, the truthful repre-
Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of the Christ (2004) included an episode of Veronica wiping Jesus’s face, although she is not referred to by name in the film (she is
credited in the film as “Seraphia”). Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, one of the inspirational sources to the
cited movie, depicts a long and touching description of
the St Veronica episode and she identifies the true name
of St Veronica also as “Seraphia.”[14]

same way as St.Veronica is usually depicted holding the
