It's called Veronica's Veil for illiteration purposes only. It probably was more like a hankie that she offered to wipe Jesus's fave on the way to Calvary.

The person who wiped our Lord's brow was real as is the image left behind. Only the names have been changed ... to protect the innocent ;-)

I was learned Vera Icon, True Icon, was the source of her name "vernonica"
