where did come from about the story of veronica the woman wipes jesus in the calvary?

Question

can you tell me where did come from this story?

Answer 1

The story comes from tradition, with a small "t".

These pious traditions cannot be documented, but there is no reason why the belief that such an act of compassion did occur should not find expression in the veneration paid to one called Veronica, even though the name has found no place in the Hieronymian Martyrology or the oldest historical Martyrologies, and St. Charles Borromeo excluded the Office of St. Veronica from the Milan Missal where it had been introduced.

On the other hand, some very prestigious people say the Veil of Veronica has been found. The Catholic Church may never declare it to be authentic without scientific proof, which is nearly impossible to do with a 2000 year old cloth.

For Christians, in the case of Veronica's Veil — as also in the case of the Shroud of Turin — to believe or not to believe in its authenticity is not a matter of faith.

Answer 2

From the catholic.com website....

In the early centuries of the Church, there was not a formal canonization process. Saints were declared or acclaimed by the people after death. Later on, the Church formalized the canonization process in order to prevent such abuses as venerating someone about whom little or nothing is known.

The name Veronica is Hebrew for "true face" and refers to the story that after a woman used her veil to wipe away the blood on Christ’s face during his carrying of the cross, her veil was imprinted with Christ’s image.

By giving the woman a name that symbolizes the story, the early Christians may have been giving a clue that this was a well-known story but that the person who assisted Christ was unknown. It would be similar to a hospital referring to an unknown accident victim as "John Doe," a well-known medical pseudonym. The person exists but the hospital assigned him a generic identity until his true identity could be ascertained. In the same way, it is possible that an unknown woman gave practical assistance to Jesus during his journey to Calvary. The first Christians may have known only what she did, not who she was, and so assigned her a name that reflected the story of her encounter with Christ.

So is it possible to honor St. Veronica even though we have no knowledge of her beyond the fact that early Christians believed that a certain woman of Jerusalem helped Jesus during the Via Dolorosa? Of course. Even today, anonymous heroes are honored for their deeds even though nothing particular about their lives can now be known. Consider, for example, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

Answer 3

On Good Friday, Catholics attend the Stations of the Cross.
The faithful believe that Veronica from Jerusalem encountered Jesus along the Via Dolorosa on the way to Calvary. When she paused to wipe the sweat (Latin suda) off his face with her veil, his image was imprinted on the cloth. The event is commemorated by one of the Stations of the Cross.
