Since the “napkin” exists, would you venerate or not?
When Catholic AND Protestant scholars were translating the Bible in the 16th century they both used the term “napkin” and it would be an error to assume that this returns to a small cloth we place on our laps while eating. It meant TABLECLOTH and that changes the size of the cloth considerably.
NYer posted links here about the Sudarium which IS in Spain and DID cover the face of Jesus in the tomb:

It is a totally different relic from Veronica’s Veil.
