:''And the woman was made whole from that hour.''{{ref|1}}
The next episode that we hear of in her life is the famous cloth incident during Christ's [[crucifixion]]. When Christ paused in exhaustion, Veronica was able to give the Lord her handkerchief. When she looked at the cloth again, she realized that an image of Christ's face had appeared on it; this is often called the first [[iconography|icon]]. Veronica's name itself is said to be derived from the Greek Latin words meaning ''true (verus) image/icon''.
No one is certain of what happened to Veronica in her later years, though one story has it that she cured the Roman Emperor Tiberius of some kind of sickness using her iconic cloth. Some sources say that she and her husband, named Zacchaeus, travelled all the way to Southern France confessing the [[Gospel]].
