Umnqweno kaVeronica wokufana no-Kristu wabethelelwa emthethweni waphendulwa nge-stigmata.
UVeronica wazalelwa eMercatelli, eItali. Kuthiwa xa wayesweleka umama wakhe uBenedetta, wabiza iintombi zakhe ezintlanu ecaleni kwebhedi yakhe, waphatha enye yamanxeba mahlanu kaYesu.UVeronica wanikwa inxeba elaliphantsi kwentliziyo kaKristu.
Kwiminyaka eyi-17, uVeronica wazibandakanya namaPoror Clares akhokelwa ngabakwaCapuchins. Utata wakhe wayefuna atshate, kodwa wamqinisekisa ukuba amvumele abe ngunongendi.
