Description:

1800's Veil of Veronica Sudarium Holy Face Relic Silk Engraving. the Holy Face relics. Piece is framed with museum glass. These relics are images that were created and touched to Veronica's veil in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Over the last few centuries, primarily since the miracle in 1849 in the Vatican where Veronica's veil became very vivid and glowed for 3 hours in front of all present, it became a custom in the Vatican to display Veronica's veil on Passion Sunday for veneration to the public. Each year, detailed copies were created of Veronica's veil (usually about 15" x 12"), then touched to the original veil, to a relic of the true cross, and to the spear that pierced Christ's side. From there, a text inscription was placed at the bottom (or on the back) of the relic, and a wax seal placed on each. In some cases, the Arch Confraternity of the Holy Face in Tours also added their stamp to the relic, and from there the relics were sent abroad. From what we've been able to gather, this practice was continued for at least 75 years. The engravings of the Holy Face are the reproduction of the veil of Veronica at the Vatican. No one is ignorant of the respect paid by the Church to the relic. Every year, two Cardinals, delegated for that purpose, give the same benediction with it to the kneeling people, as that given with the Blessed Sacrament, and with the sacred wood of the true Cross. An authentic attestation of the divinity of Jesus Christ, this blessed veil has been left to the Church, to be, as it were, a precious coin, marked with the effigy of the King of kings, intended to call down upon the world which is ceaselessly impending towards its ruin, the mercies of the Lord.
