Was there a Veronica mentioned in any of the gospels? I remember from the stations of the cross that Veronica wipes the face of Christ. I was thinking about that praying the forth sorrowful Mystery and realized I dont remember seeing her name actually printed in the bible…I know I could go look it up, but thatjust wouldnt be tha same as collecting opinions from all of you brilliant friends.
 
she is not mentioned in any Gospel. Her actions are preserved in tradition. Her name Veronica is rooted in the latin Vera icon (true icon) which of course relates to her ‘true image’ of Our Lord on her cloth.
In St. Peter’s there is a container which purportedly contains the vera icon of Christ (Veronica’s cloth). It is near the altar of the basilica across from St. Andrew’s relics. 👍
 
Thank you. I knew it had to be something like that. It is such a beautiful story.
