"Saint Veronica" - Bead embroidery pattern of icon

Bead embroidery pattern of icon "Saint Veronica"

The icon “Righteous Veronica” is an image of a holy woman who is remembered in the Christian tradition for her participation in the events of the Passion of Christ. According to the Gospel, Veronica was a woman who gave Jesus a handkerchief to wipe his face during the way of the cross. When Jesus took the handkerchief, it bore the imprint of His sacred face. This event became the basis for many icons and artistic depictions where Veronica is depicted with a handkerchief on which the image of Christ is visible. The Icon of the Righteous Veronica is an important symbol of mercy, compassion, and holiness in Christianity. In the Orthodox Church, Veronica does not have a separate feast day, but in some liturgical traditions her name is mentioned among the women who stood by Christ during His suffering. The image of Veronica on an icon often symbolizes the ideal of a woman who acts with deep faith and charity.
