The Italian journalist Renzo Allegri wrote an article about it at that time. In 1979, this article came to the attention of the Trappist nun Blandina Paschalis Schloemer, who recognized congruities of the facial features on the sudarium of Manoppello and on the shroud of Turin. The German pharmacist and icon painter used orientation points to develop a technique of superimposition. Based on the congruity, she was able to prove that the images on both cloths were of the same person. Sister Blandina has lived as a hermit in Manoppello since 2003.   <\/p><p class=\"txt1\">She succeeded in whetting the interest of Dr. Heinrich Pfeiffer, S.J., professor of Christian art history at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, who reached the conclusion that the cloth of Manoppello was actually the missing Veronica from the Vatican.<\/p><p class=\"txt1\">She succeeded in whetting the interest of Dr. Heinrich Pfeiffer, S.J., professor of Christian art history at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, who reached the conclusion that the cloth of Manoppello was actually the missing Veronica from the Vatican.<\/p><p class=\"txt1\">On September 1, 2006 Pope Benedict XVI visited the Veronica in Manoppello.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73e0241 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73e0241\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"thoughts2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sudariumchristi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/speech.pdf\">Jesus is Truly God Among Us, \u201cThe Mediator and the Fullness of All Revelation\u201d<\/a><br>General Audience Pope Benedict XVI gave in Paul VI Hall<br>Vatican City, January 16, 2013 (Zenit.org).<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5e86ff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c5e86ff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b525252 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b525252\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sudariumchristi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/veil.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1457\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sudariumchristi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/veil.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sudariumchristi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/veil-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Superimposition of the sudarium of Manoppello on the shroud of Turin<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0ef2c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c0ef2c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sudariumchristi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pope.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1458\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">On September 1, 2006 Pope Benedict XVI visited the Veronica in Manoppello.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the Eucharistic Congress in Pescara in 1977, the Capuchin friar Domenico da Cese, whose beatification process is currently underway, organized an exhibition with photos of the sudarium of Manoppello.
