Monk... nice work, but the "Veil" picture you are using is the wrong one... That is the "Veronica's Veil" that the Vatican has claimed has ALWAYS been in their possession (Well, since they, er, acquired it, ahem, from Constantinople in the 13th Century). It is mounted so that the back cannot be seen.

I think it has much more provenance than does the Manoppello Veil discussed in this article... which was purportedly STOLEN from the Vatican (who then replaced it with a "fake" that is in your picture), used to ransom a soldier, held for 30 years and then donated to a small church in a village called "Haystack".
