Authentic Cloth Replica of St. Veronica's Veil
In 1849, Pope Pius IX placed the veil, called "The Sacred Effigy," on display, between Christmas and Epiphany. On the third day the veil became transfigured and the features of Jesus appeared life-like and surrounded by a mild halo. The phenomenon lasted three hours and was documented by church historians.
Several white silk veils touching Veronica's Veil were imprinted with Jesus' countenance.
COPIES ARE AUTHORIZED
After the miracle, the pope authorized printed copies of the sacred picture to be made on linen or silk. They were touched to the true relics.
These were impressed with a Cardinal's seal and were touched to the true relics and furnished with a guarantee. When the word "Gratis" appears printed on the picture, it means it has been touched to the original veil, the wood of the true cross, and the lance. Innumerable miracles have been attributed to the prayers said before the images, according to "From the Housetops."
