    It bothers me that so called intelligent people actually believe these images to be genuine.

    ‘But one man has a shocking revelation; he believes that it is fake’. Shocking 😂 😂😂

    Looks like something from a 9 year old’s art class

    There were , and still are, markets in the Holy Land where you can buy all sorts of holy relics, carefully made yesterday and absolutely genuine.....
  • I don’t think that is the face of Jesus, it doesn’t look at all like The Shroud which I think is the real face of Jesus.

    The Veil of Veronica shows absolute errors. IF this was a cloth that wiped Prince/Rabbi Jesus' face, then his eyes WOULD BE CLOSED. As this is an open-eyed depiction of the whites of the eyes and the pupils, ... you ever wiped your wet eyes on a dry towel ??? This is not an actual historical biblical event artifact. It ~could be~ something later taken as an artist's rendition.

    a basic painting on some fabric, no wonder they wanted to forget about it and replace it with a less obvious face smudge

    Faith is important.. Since ages questions are asked.. But.. answer❤ is within you...
  • Giorgio Vassari reported that Raphael Sanzio painted an image of his face on a transparent byssus fabric. The description of this portrait fits exactly the one venerated as the "Veronica" in Manopello.

    Who cares what Jesus looked like, black, white brown, he was a good caring soul. Why cant people just have a good soul 🙏🙏🙏
  • @cyntogia
    There were 6 veils, a cardinal just chose one to be used as the veil. This is the one chosen. It's not likely to have been Veronica's. Rather one that touched it and was then painted.

    If he had wiped his face it would not produce an image but instead a smudge
