All Star Laundry Service Feast of St. Veronica, July 12
What we know...not much. There's nothing in the Gospels about a woman wiping the face of Christ, and an image of his face appearing on it. It supposedly appeared in Rome in the 8th Century so Pope Boniface VIII confiscated it and put it in a reliquary in St. Peter's.
Interestingly, a veronica in bullfighting is a move in which the matador holds a cape out and pivots slowly as the bull charges past it.
