The Veil of Veronica, or Sudarium (Latin for sweat-cloth), also known as the Vernicle, the Veronica and the Holy Face, is a Christian relic consisting of a piece of cloth said to bear an image of the Holy Face of Jesus produced by miraculous means (an acheiropoieton). Various existing images have been claimed to be the original relic or an early copy of it; representations of it are also known as vernicles.
