DCHA Distinguished Lecture Series: “The Veil of Veronica in Premodern Rome” with Katherine L. Jansen
When: 3:30 PM ET
At Cherokee Mills, suite 223, 2230 Sutherland Ave., Knoxville 37919
Or via livestream at tiny.utk.edu/Jansen
This talk examines the history of the most important relic in the Christian world: the holy sudarium. Known colloquially as “the Veronica,” the relic is the cloth that is believed to have been imbued with the likeness of Christ’s face when Saint Veronica wiped the sweat from his brow as he made his way, carrying the cross, to the crucifixion. Surveying first how the relic arrived in Rome at the basilica of St. Peter, Katherine L. Jansen will demonstrate that attention to one holy object over a long period can reveal patterns of religious practice, papal ceremony and politics, and change over time in the eternal city.
The lecture, which is part of the Denbo Center’s 2024-2025 Distinguished Lecture Series, is free and open to the public and will be held at the Denbo Center at Cherokee Mills. Free parking is available in the lots on the north and west sides of the building. Everyone is welcome!
