Veronica's Veil
As Jesus made his way towards Calvary, a woman cried out. Veronica ran forward and wiped his face with her veil. She cried for her savior. Imprinted on the veil is the face of christ, stained with sweat and blood forever more...
The spiritual tales of Veronica's Veil fascinate me.
But could they really be true? A veil depicting the face of Christ?

Sounds very much like the shroud of Turin, the clothe used to cover the body of Christ, leaving an incredible imprint of the man that's obviously a supernatural occurence.

Hmm... I want to see some "evidence" first. Then when I see the "evidence" and evaluate it, I will decide. But I would like to hear more, please, tell me more.  |

Actually, I wouldn't have ever heard of it, as it is a mostly Catholic belief that this exists, had it not been for an Anne Rice Novel called Memnoch the Devil. Apparently one of the vampires in there wanted this relic and got it..I forget what happened after wards. It was a cool book.
I don't know if I believe in the actual thing-though that's not saying it doesn't exist. Just like the Shroud of Turin..I wonder if it wasn't man that made these things. Not to say that it couldn't be, naturally, a real impression of what Christ looked like-I just have my doubts.
But you're right, the stories that surround these artifacts are interesting.

I have never heard of "Veronica's Veil" before. It sounds slightly interesting. I'm glad you showed us these articles, Broken Destiny.

Aww man, somebody was playing tricks on me again... look. It just came up on one of the links above titled "Is this really Jesus' face?" and so I thought of this thread. That's all. |

It is really just to get you to buy the artist rendering what Christ looked like based on the shroud of turin.
