SAINT VERONICA - 13" x 16"
We commemorate Saint Veronica in the sixth Station of the Cross where Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus. Pius tradition holds that to this day, the veil bears the likeness of the Holy Face of Jesus not made by human hands.
This beautiful print is a replica of the original painted by Mattia Preti (1613-1699), an Italian Baroque artist who worked in Italy and Malta and was a Knight of Grace in the Order of St John. This painting depicts St. Veronica holding the veil with Jesus' image on it as she gazes up in wonder at the miraculous gift Our Lord left her as a reward for her courageous compassion!
Framed in a gold wood frame with a sturdy wire hanger.
Measures 13" W x 16" H.
