Veronica a Christian woman



Veronica a woman of Jerusalem who wiped the face of Jesus with a veil while he was on the way to Calvary.
It is written that, the cloth was imprinted with the image of Christ's face. Veronica became one of the most popular woman Christians of her time.
Veronica took the veil from the Holy Land, and used it to cure a man of an illness.
Old Christian writings say in the Acts of Pilate, identify her with the woman mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew who suffered from an issue of blood.
She is remembered by her acts of charity.

Her symbol is the veil bearing the face of Christ and the Crown of Thorns.

This testimony of Veronica reminds me of the Miracles wich Jesus did through Paul: Bible Acts 19:12 (KJ)
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.



A catholic priest called Charles Borromeo tried to have her testimony removed from the church of Milan, around 1554
