A holy relic that supposedly shows what Jesus Christ really looked like has been found after it was hidden for nearly 20 years in a motor home near Knoxville, Tenn.The owner had no idea of its importance. Its significance was only recognized when the elderly owner's caretaker stole the relic and attempted to sell it to a local church.
“The True Face of Jesus Christ,” a 150-year-old painting blessed by Pope Leo XIII, is one of just a handful of paintings based on the cloth used to dab Jesus’ face before he was crucified, known as the Veil of Veronica, which according to legend bears his likeness.
