I agree with ckswife: I believe it is Veronica's veil. Though not mentioned in the Bible (the apocryphal Acts of Pilate):
"According to legend, a pious matron named Veronica took pity on Jesus as he was carrying his cross through the streets of Jerusalem on the way to his crucifixion at Calvary. She stepped forward from the crowd and wiped the blood and sweat from his face with her veil. Out of thanks for her kindness, Jesus worked a miracle and left a painting-like imprint of his face on the veil. The legend contends that the veil has healing powers."

Actually, I thought the Shroud of Turin was the cloth that was placed over his face after he died.

"Veronica's veil." If you stare at the face it looks like the eyes are opening and closing. THe story goes that St. Veronica wiped Jesus' face when he stumbled on the way to Golgotha and an imprint of his facewas left on the cloth.

Veronica`s Veil. Believe it or not, there is a good story about this in one of the Anne Rice Lestat Books.
