Item description from the seller
In 304 AD, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, Christian persecution was not only not prohibited, but also welcomed. Because of this, the believers were simply doomed to death. Christian Veronica, along with her mother and sister, was forced to flee Antioch at the same time. They stopped in the neighboring town of Edessa. Hence, the word Odessa joined the name Veronika.
