A term used to describe a picture on cloth that has been made in an out-of-the-ordinary manner.
Veronica, based on an apocryphal leg end of a lady who
cleaned the face of Jesus during the procession to the Cross, is another word
for a fabric that displays the miraculous visage of Jesus.
One of the most notable instances of such a fabric is the
contentious Turin Shroud.
