No, Mary Magdalene did not wipe the face of Jesus. Tradition holds that Saint Veronica did that. The image of the face of Jesus appeared on the cloth and this rellic has been held in Saint Peter's Basilica for nearly 2000 years.
There is no specific mention in The Bible of Mary Magdalene wiping the face of Jesus. The act of wiping Jesus' face is traditionally attributed to another woman, Veronica, based on Catholic devotion and folklore.
Mary Magdalene poured expensive perfume over Jesus' head and feet and wiped his feet with her hair. Read about it in the Bible in Matthew 26:6-7, Mark 14:3, John 11:2, 12:3.
According to Christian tradition, when Veronica wiped Jesus' face with her cloth, his image miraculously appeared on it. This event is known as the Veil of Veronica or Sudarium. It is a significant moment in the Stations of the Cross and is believed to have left an imprint of Jesus' face on the cloth.
Actually, we don't know the lady's name to wiped the face of Our Blessed Lord, tradition gives her name as "Veronica" but this is suspect for the simple reason that Veronica is likely the combination of vera (Latin: true) and eikon(Greek: image) so "Veronica" means "true image" referring to the piece of cloth that has a representation of Our Blessed Lord's face on it. As the actual history is not known either in the canonical Gospels or in the Church's Martyrology, we are just guessing as to its history. Tradition sometimes identifies her as the woman with an issue of blood (Mark 5, 25-34). The veil itself is in St. Peter's Basilica and is one of the greater relics, and may only be handled by the Canon of the Basilica.
well,if you must know,1 angel can kill 185,000 people .so,if you had 12 legions of angels(and legion has anywhere from 3,000 to6,000 angels)like peter did,you could wipe out the whole world on a request(36,000 angels in all)

Her veil.
The story of Veronica wiping the face of Jesus is not in the Bible, but is an old tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
Her name is Saint Veronica (veronika) and you can find this tissu in one of the cathedral of Rome or the Vatican and on which there is the real face of Jesus...
Mary Magdalene who was a prostitute once was the only one to change and wash wipe the feet of Jesus with her hair. she was also the first person to reach he tomb of Jesus on that Easter sunfay morning.
There is no doubt that there was a physical image known and venerated as the Veil of Veronica, displayed in Rome in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The history of that image is however, somewhat problematic. A relic in Saint Peter's basilica in Rome is purported to be the original veil, although it is widely regarded, at best, as a copy.There was probably never really a veil used to wipe Jesus' face. The story begins with Luke 23:27-31, which tells us that certain women lamented as Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha. At this stage, there is no mention of Veronica or of anyone wiping Jesus' face. An early medieval story expanded on Luke's brief passage, saying that one of these women offered a cloth to wipe the face of Jesus which then resulted in a portrait on the cloth (a reproduction of which is now kept as a relic in Saint Peter's basilica in Rome). Her name was given as Veronica (vera + ikon = "true image"), and she now has a place in the popular exercise of the Stations of the Cross.It seems unlikely that the medieval authors, well known for their pious creativity, could have known something that the author of Luke did not know. It is even more unlikely that the woman's name happened to coincide with what she was famous for in this story - wiping Jesus' face and receiving a true image of his face. We can say with some certainty that St. Veronica never lived, so no matter how ancient the veil held in the Vatican, it was not used to wipe Jesus' face.
"Essuie ton visage".

Saint Veronica is believed to have been influenced by her profound faith in Jesus Christ and her desire to show compassion and kindness to others. She is also said to have been influenced by witnessing the suffering of Jesus on his way to crucifixion, which inspired her to wipe his face with her veil.
