WHAT DOES VERNICLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

vernicle

Veil of Veronica

The Veil of Veronica, or Sudarium, often called simply "The Veronica" and known in Italian as the Volto Santo or Holy Face is a Catholic relic of a piece of cloth, which, according to legend, bears the likeness of the face of Jesus not made by human hand. Various existing images have been claimed to be the "original" relic, or early copies of it, but the evidently legendary nature of the story means that there are many fewer people, even among traditional Catholics, who treat claims of actual authenticity very seriously compared to the comparable relic of the Turin Shroud. The final form of the Western legend recounts that Saint Veronica from Jerusalem encountered Jesus along the Via Dolorosa on the way to Calvary. When she paused to wipe the blood and sweat off his face with her veil, his image was imprinted on the cloth. The event is commemorated by the Sixth Station of the Stations of the Cross. According to some versions, Veronica later traveled to Rome to present the cloth to the Roman Emperor Tiberius and the veil possesses miraculous properties, being able to quench thirst, cure blindness, and sometimes even raise the dead.
