• The Holy Face.
•    The Holy Face of Christ (popularly called the Holy Shroud) which has been kept for about six centuries in the Church of St. ...
•   The Holy Face of Edessa has always been mentioned in the Christian world - above all in the Eastern world - but its exceptional importance grew stronger at the time of Iconoclasm when, in the VIIIth century, some Byzantine Emperors - among them Leo IIIth the Isauricus - tried to destroy the Holy Images, pretending to purify the Christian cult. The defenders of the Holy Images (like St. ... German Patriarch of Constantinople, the Popes Gregory IInd, Hadrian Ist and many others) presented as the principal historical argument in favour of the Holy Images the existence of the Holy Face of Edessa, which the tradition dates back to Jesus's time. The Holy Face is mentioned also in the Acts of the IInd Council of Nicaea (VIIth Ecumenical Council) of 787 A. ... , which established and stated the validity of the Holy Images, mainly on the "historical" basis of the Holy Face of Edessa, and on the "dogmatic" basis of the truth of the Incarnation, according to which God, in Jesus, has made Himself "visible", therefore "representable": owing to the Incarnation God, in Jesus, can be "seen" and not only "listened to" in His "word".
•   In the Xth century - that is in 944 - the Holy Face was transferred from Edessa to Constantinople, owing to the negotiation between the Emir of Edessa and the Byzantine Emperor Costantine VIIIth Porfirogenitus. ... Towards the half of the XIVth century, in 1362, owing to the decadence of the Byzantine Empire, which was seriously threatened by the coming of the Turks, the Holy Face was removed from Constantinople by the genoese Captain (later Doge) Leonardo Montaldo, who received (or pretended) it as a gift after some military help given to the Emperor John Vth Paleologus.
•   In 1384, when it was transferred to Genoa, the Holy Face was given by Montaldo to the Church of St. ...
•   Since then, the Holy Face has been kept in this Church, as an object of great reverence for the Genoese people, and not only for them. An ancient Confraternity - of the "Holy Face" or of the "Holy Shroud" - has been considering for six centuries its exceptional importance for the city of Genoa and for the whole of Christianity.
•   In 1507, at the time of the occupation of Genoa by Louis XIIth the king of France, the Holy Face was stolen and taken to France, but a few months later, with the intervention of the ambassadors, of the rich merchants and of the genoese bankers - among them Giano Grillo - the very precious relic was brought back to Genoa. ...

• Therese, a doctor of the Church, told her sister Genevieve:  “the devotion to the Holy Face is not a devotion:  when you love someone and you look at him, you look at his face, and not his heels nor his shoulders!”.
