14K Yellow Gold Holy Face of Jesus Religious Medal - 2/3 Inch Round Charm (Dime Size) for Necklace, Bracelet & Rosary - Perfect for Baptism, First Communion & Spiritual Gifts

The Holy Face of Jesus is a title for specific images which some Catholics believe to have been miraculously formed representations of the face of Jesus Christ. The image obtained from the Shroud of Turin is associated with a specific medal worn by some Roman Catholics and is also one of the Catholic Devotions to Christ. While various Acheiropoieta (literally "not-handmade") items relating to Christ have been reported throughout the centuries, the term Holy Face of Jesus as used today only relates to the specific devotions approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1895 and Pope Pius XII in 1958. In the Roman Catholic tradition, the Holy Face of Jesus is used in conjunction with Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ with specific institutions whose focus is such reparations, e.g. the Pontifical Congregation of the Benedictine Sisters of the Reparation of the Holy Face. In his address to this Congregation, Pope John Paul II referred to such Acts of Reparation as the "unceasing effort to stand beside the endless crosses on which the Son of God continues to be crucified".
