"The Veil of Veronica, or Sudarium (Latin for sweat-cloth), also known as the Vernicle and often called simply the Veronica, is a Christian relic consisting of a piece of cloth that is said to bear an image of the Holy Face of Jesus. With no support from main-stream academic, scientific nor contemporary religious authority, claims have been made that the face is an image of Jesus that is not made by human hand (an acheiropoieton). Various existing images have been claimed to be the original relic, as well as early copies of it; representations of it are also known as vernicles. The original and copy images are described by the Vatican as laughably poor and wholly unconvincing frauds." - (en.wikipedia.org 29.09.2020)
