Historical Notices on the Holy Face at St. Peter's of the Vatican and Other Celebrated Places

Discover one of the great forgotten treasures of Catholic devotion.

Originally published in 1888 by the Rev. Abbé Janvier and translated into English by Mrs. A. R. Bennett, The Devotion to the Holy Face traces the history, miracles, and worldwide veneration of the sacred images of Our Lord's Holy Face. Beginning with the celebrated image preserved at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, this remarkable work explores the origins and spread of a devotion that inspired countless Catholics to make reparation for blasphemy, sacrilege, and indifference toward God.

Within these pages, readers will encounter historical accounts of revered images of the Holy Face throughout Christendom, including those found in France, Spain, Italy, and beyond. Rich in historical detail and spiritual insight, this volume reveals how devotion to the Face of Christ became a source of consolation, conversion, and renewal for the faithful.

Beautifully restored from the original nineteenth-century edition, this book is an invaluable resource for Catholics devoted to the Holy Face, students of Church history, and anyone seeking a deeper love for Our Lord.
