This image displays a Russian Orthodox icon painting, encased in a wooden frame, hung on an old stone wall. The icon portrays Saint Veronica of Jerusalem, a figure central to Christian tradition. In the painting, Saint Veronica is depicted holding a white veil, known as the Veil of Veronica, which bears the image of Jesus Christ's face, crowned with thorns. According to Church tradition, Saint Veronica offered this veil to Jesus as he carried the cross on his way to Golgotha. Moved by compassion, she provided the cloth to Jesus to wipe his forehead, and in return, the image of his face was miraculously imprinted on the fabric. This moment is captured in the painting, with the delicate, sacred image of Christ appearing clearly on the veil in her hands.
