It is one of the most holyrelics in Christianity:

The \"Veil of Veronica\" or \"Holy Face\", preserved inRome since the time of Emperor Tiberius (1st Century) and venerated since the8th Century in St. Peter\'s Basilica. According to the legend, Veronica was apious woman from Jerusalem who encountered Christ on His way to Calvary and,full of compassion, used her veil to clean His face from sweat and blood. Whenshe took it back, His Most Holy Face appeared miraculously on the cloth! Nextto the Turin Shroud, the \"Veronica\" is another image of Christ\"not created by human hands\", inspiring Christian iconography untiltoday. Veronica\'s encounter became a regular station on the Way of the Cross, andeven today, once a year, pilgrims receive a blessing with the most holy relicin St. Peter\'s on Passion Sunday. It is kept in a special chapel in one of thefour main pillars of St. Peter. In the 19th century, the veneration of the HolyFace was propagated by St. Pope Pius IX and, among others, St. Therese deLisieux, who took the name \"Theresia of the Infant Jesus and the HolyFace\". This was casued by a miracle. During the revolution of 1849, whenthe Pope had to flee to Gaeto, St. Pius IX ordered the Holy Veil to be publiclyexposed between the feasts of Christmas and Epiphany. On the 3rd day of theexposition, the face of Our Lord on the cloth became clearly visible andappeared to be alive, surrounded by a soft light. The Canons of St. Peterimmediately rung the bells, and crowds of people came to watch the 3 hours longmanifestation. One of the canons was ordered to draw the face as it appearsduring the miracle and the Pope later ordered an improved version of thisdrawing to be imprinted on linnen cloths, which, after being touched to theoriginal relic (and therefore becoming 2nd class relics) were distributed amongthe faithful. This custom was continued for over 50 years.
