Description

The sixth station of the cross tells of a woman named Veronica from Jerusalem who is so moved with sympathy upon seeing Jesus on route to his crucifixion that she offers Jesus her veil to wipe his face. His face caked with blood, sweat, and dirt, Jesus uses the veil to wipe his weary face, then hands it back to Veronica with his image imprinted upon the piece of cloth. While there is no explicit reference to Veronica in the Gospels, her gracious act on the Via Dolorosa has lived on in legend for centuries.
