===Veil of Veronica===
The [[Veil of Veronica]], used to wipe the sweat from Jesus' brow as he carried the cross, is claimed to bear the likeness of the face of Christ. Today, several relics are claimed to be the Veil of Veronica, with several age-old copies also being venerated.

====Rome====
An image kept in [[Saint Peter's Basilica]] in Rome since the 14th century is purported to be the Veil of Veronica revered in the Middle Ages. The most detailed recorded inspection in the 20th century occurred in 1907 when Jesuit art historian [[Joseph Wilpert]] inspected the image.{{sfnp|Nickell|2007|p=75}}

The [[Hofburg Palace]] in Vienna has a copy of the Veil of Veronica, identified by the 1617 AD signature of the secretary of [[Pope Paul V]], during whose reign a series of six copies of the veil were made.<ref>{{Harvnb|Wilson|1991|p=157}}</ref>
