The detailed description of the burial cloths in John 20 is puzzling, and scholars have developed several theories about why such a description is included. The cloths may support the claim of resurrection. If Jesus' body was removed by the Romans, they surely would have had no reason to unwrap the body; in fact, it would have been preferable to keep the body wrapped. (YUCK!) There is an urban myth about the folded "napkin" that covered Jesus' face, saying that it refers to a Jewish meal custom. The myth goes, that if the master of the house left the dinner table and just tossed his napkin on the table, it meant he was done eating. If he folded the napkin, it meant that he was not done eating, that he was coming back. This way, the servant would know whether or not to clear the table when the master left. So, according to the legend, the folded napkin was Jesus' way of telling his disciples, "I'm not done! I'm coming back!" Although this is a sweet story, it has no factual basis. For one thing, there is no such Jewish custom. Even if there were, Jesus head was not wrapped in a dinner napkin! The word "napkin" is simply another term for a piece of cloth.

When Veronica wiped Jesus' face did the cloth that she used show his face?
Luke 23:27-31 tells us that certain women lamented as Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha. An early medieval story expanded on this 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, nevertheless, St Veronica remains important in Catholic liturgy.
Who wiped Jesus' face as he carried the cross?
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.
