The Veil of Veronica or Sudarium (Latin for sweat-cloth) often called simply The Veronica and known in Italian as the Volto Santo or Holy Face (but not to be confused with the carved crucifix Volto Santo of Lucca) is a Catholic relic of a piece of cloth which according to legend bears the likeness of the face of Jesus not made by human hand (i.e. an Acheiropoieton).
