This is a gorgeous Vintage Russian Orthodox 3-dimension solid brass Vernicle icon-pendant. The icon-pendant was made in the XX Century. On the front it has image of Jesus Christ. The icon-pendant is in excellent condition. The pendant has hook for the chain or rope that you can wear it. Size is 2.4†(with hook) x 1.6†x 0.2†thick. Vernicle is a Christian relic consisting of a piece of cloth said to bear an image of the Holy Face of Jesus produced by other than human means (an acheiropoieton, ''made without hand''). The story of the image's origin is related to the sixth Station of the Cross, wherein Saint Veronica, encountering Jesus along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, wipes the blood and sweat from his face with her veil. According to some versions, St. Veronica later traveled to Rome to present the cloth to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. The veil has been said to quench thirst, cure blindness, and even raise the dead.
