text: what do you call the cloth jesus wiped his face off? turin shroud is it? i agree with ckswife: i believe it is veronica's veil.  though not mentioned in the bible (the apocryphal acts of pilate):   "according to legend, a pious matron named veronica took pity on jesus as he was carrying his cross through the streets of jerusalem on the way to his crucifixion at calvary. she stepped forward from the crowd and wiped the blood and sweat from his face with her veil. out of thanks for her kindness, jesus worked a miracle and left a painting-like imprint of his face on the veil. the legend contends that the veil has healing powers." http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa060799.htm  picture: http://www.visionsofjesuschrist.com/weeping57.htm  another interesting article: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/stv02001.htm  a shroud is something like a sheet you wrap a body in.  link to shroud of turin: http://www.shroud.com/
