This listing is for a vintage icon depicting the miraculous Veil of Veronica. It comes from the Santuario del Volto Santo in Manoppello, Italy, which houses the cloth showing the face of Jesus. The image is mounted in the center of a metal round plate. Ready to hang on your wall using the string on the back.
The story of the image's origin is related to the sixth Station of the Cross wherein Saint Veronica wiped the blood and sweat from Jesus’s face with her veil on the Via Dolorosa to Calvary. According to some versions, St. Veronica later traveled to Rome to present the cloth to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. The veil has been said to quench thirst, cure blindness, and even raise the dead.
A stunning devotional image, or a lovely piece of artwork for your home. This beautiful piece of art would fit in with many decor styles, from Old World European to classic and traditional. A great addition to a religious gallery wall.
Would make a lovely gift for a Religious Studies major, professor, or teacher. Would also make a thoughtful Confirmation gift for someone choosing the Saint name of Saint Veronica.
Condition: this icon is in vintage condition, with some wear to the image from the way it was attached to the glass, and some wear / warping to the metal surrounding plate. Plate stand not included.
The image can also be removed and the vintage frame be used with your own photograph or print!
