Tiny Saints Charms - St. Veronica faith While praying before a crucifixAs Jesus carried the heavy cross on the way to his crucifixion, one woman in particular took great pity on him.

Centuries of Christian tradition honor this woman as Saint Veronica a name meaning "true image". Feast Day: July 12 Patronage: First Aid, Laundry Workers, Photographers
