My sister and I saw the Passion of the Christ and we were wondering if anyone knew if the cloth that Veronica used to wipe Jesus' face had been given a name. For example, the burial cloth they used to wrap Jesus in after he died is called the Shroud of Turin. We were just curious. Any information might be helpful. Thank you

"vera icona"
From the fourteenth century were supposedly miraculous--but actually painted--portraits of Christ. They were known as vera icona (Latin for "true images"), a term that seems to have been corrupted to "veronica" and so gave rise to the pious legend: supposedly Veronica was a woman from Jerusalem who was so moved by pity at witnessing Jesus struggling with his cross toward Golgotha that she wiped his face with her veil (or kerchief).

I don't think there's anyone in the Bible named Veronica. .

Mythological?
That story isn't in any of the Gospels, it's even more made-up than the rest of it.
My boyfriend informs me in my ignorance of mythology that it was her veil.
