The statue of Saint Veronica stands at the entrance to the Calvary Church in Kőszeg and dates back to the 18th century. It is part of the Baroque tradition of the Way of the Cross. The saint is depicted as a standing figure with a slightly turned posture. She wears a long, softly flowing robe and a veil over her head. With both hands, she holds an outstretched sweat cloth in front of her body. The face of Christ with a crown of thorns is clearly visible on this cloth – depicted frontally, with long hair and a serious expression. The cloth is carefully modeled and forms the center of the composition. According to tradition, Veronica handed Jesus a cloth on his way to Golgotha to wipe the sweat and blood from his face. In doing so, his face was miraculously imprinted on the fabric. This so-called Veronica's veil became an important motif in Christian art and is closely associated with depictions of the Way of the Cross.
