The story of the veil of the Virgin Mary is shrouded in mystery and legends. According to tradition, the veil would have been worn by Mary during the crucifixion of Jesus. After her death, the veil would have been kept by disciples and saints. Over the centuries, it would have been transferred from hand to hand, until it found refuge in prestigious places of worship such as Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and Chartres Cathedral in France.
