Collection: 📚 Holy Face of Jesus

The devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus honors the face of Christ, especially as revealed during His Passion and suffering. Catholics contemplate the Holy Face as a reminder of the love, humility, and sacrifice of Jesus, who willingly endured humiliation and suffering for the redemption of mankind. The devotion is rooted in Scripture, particularly the accounts of Christ's Passion, which describe His rejection, scourging, and crucifixion.

Devotion to the Holy Face was especially promoted by St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, who took this title as part of her religious name, and by Blessed Maria Pierina De Micheli, who helped spread devotion to the Holy Face medal. The faithful pray before images of Christ's Holy Face as an act of reparation for sin and as a means of growing in love for Our Lord.

Feast Day: Shrove Tuesday is traditionally associated with the Holy Face devotion; there is no universal feast on the General Roman Calendar.
Patronage: Reparation for sin, conversion, and devotion to the Passion of Christ.
