Carroll Baker is credited as playing Veronica, but I don't recall seeing her, and I don't remember which character Veronica was. Can anyone fill me in here?
"Why do you find it so hard to believe?"

St. Veronica is the woman who wiped Jesus face with a cloth on his procession to Golgotha. As Jesus stumbles, she wipes his face and he tells the women in the crowd not to weep for him, but to weep for themselves.
Tradition holds that an image of Jesus' face appeared on the cloth St. Veronica used to wipe his face.
Carroll Baker does play Veronica - she has no lines but one closeup with Von Sydow.
She wears a dark black wig and looks beautiful
