Veronica was mentioned in the reported [[visions of Jesus and Mary|visions of Jesus]] by [[Marie of St Peter]], a [[Carmelites|Carmelite nun]] who lived in [[Tours]], France, and started the [[Catholic devotions|devotion]] to the [[Holy Face of Jesus]]. In 1844, Sister Marie reported that in a vision, she saw Veronica wiping away the spit and mud from the face of Jesus with her veil on the way to Calvary. She said that sacrilegious and blasphemous acts today are adding to the spit and mud that Veronica wiped away that day. According to Marie of St Peter, in her visions, Jesus told her that he desired devotion to His Holy Face in [[reparation (legal)|reparation]] for [[sacrilege]] and [[blasphemy]]. [[Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ]] are thus compared to Veronica wiping the face of Jesus.<ref name="Cruz2003p=" /><ref name="ScallanScallan1994p=" />
 
The Devotion to the [[Holy Face of Jesus]] was eventually approved by [[Pope Leo XIII]] in 1885. Veronica is commemorated on 12 July.
