英语词汇veronica的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	veronica
词源	veronica. The classic Spanish bullfighting cape movement called the veronica takes its name from St. Veronica, who in an- cient legend was the woman who wiped the face of Christ as He carried the cross, her handkerchief retaining an imprint of Christ’s face. The cape movement is swung so slowly and near to the face of the bull that it suggested St. Veronica using her handkerchief.
