| Research Abstract |
We retraced the origins and development of the belief in the Holy Face in West from later twelfth century to mid thirteenth century on the basis of works of art and texts such as manuscripts of Psalters and Apocalypses and considered meaning and the reason why this belief in the Holy Face developed firstly in England, in relation to the movement of eschatological thoughts of that time and the regional tradition from the Anglo-Saxon time. We shed light on some aspects of the religious practice in private devotion in which the image and prayer text of Veronica was situated.
