Veronica's Veil Vatican

In 1849, a miracle occurred when Pope Pius IX - then in exile at Castle of Gaeta, Italy,  due to revolution and hostility to the Catholic Church,  permitted the Holy Veil of St. Veronica to be displayed in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. The Holy Veil appeared life-like, surrounded by a halo and glowed for 3 hours in front of all present. 

The Holy Face was of a deathly pallor, the eyes sunken, yet animated with an expression of profound sadness.
