Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus

Today is the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus. In 1958 Pope Pius XII declared the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus as Shrove Tuesday which is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. St Therese the Little Flower had a strong devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.

Blessed Maria Pierina de Micheli promoted this devotion and also helped to have a medal struck in honor of the Holy Face. Tonight on the Feast of the Holy Face we prayed before a first class relic of Blessed Maria Pierina de Micheli for all the members of the Children's Rosary.

The picture above is a handmade simple replica of Vernonica's Veil we made some years ago when the Children's Rosary helped host the Relics of the Passion.
