4.0 out of 5 stars oops..., July 14 2004

This review is from: Jeffrey Kacirk's Forgotten English: A 366-Day Calendar of Vanishing Vocabulary and Folklore for 2004 (Calendar)
an interesting story every day, but I had a bit of a problem with July 12, which was labeled the feast day of St. Veronica. While July 12 is a feast day for St. Veronica, the story for that day claims she was reputed to have wiped the face of Jesus with a handkerchief during the passion, causing Jesus' face to appear on the cloth. The story then claims this cloth became known as the Shroud of Turin.

The Shroud of Turin, however, is not a handkerchief. It is a 13 foot long shroud, and was reputed to be the cloth in which Joseph of Arimathea wrapped Jesus' body. It is not associated with St. Veronica at all.

Other than this rather glaring error, I have thoroughly enjoyed this item.
