What a coincidence! I also considered Veronica since she is acclaimed to be the woman who wiped Christ's face as he carried His cross up to Golgotha.

Instead, I chose Magdalene - the first woman to see Christ after He rose from the dead. Magdalene is also my godmother's name.

This was, of course, also my motivation, and I don't know why I changed my mind at the last moment. Veronica is apparently translated "true image", which is why, they say, she is a fake.

Still, I find it interesting there are so many devout Roman Catholics on Free Republic.

I also find this discussion very interesting. It probably has some deep psychological significance into our view of our own spirituality, or even personality.
