Is it me or does the image of Jesus on the Veil of Veronica look jack all like the Jesus on the Shroud of Turin?

I mean, in the veil image, Jesus is sporting one of those little wispy Asian man beards. In the Shroud of Turin, he's got this full Ozarks Mountain Man beard. Did Jesus really grow such an impressive beard during his lil walkabout to Golgotha? I mean, I've done the stations of the cross and I don't even sport 5 o'clock shadow.

The only thing I can conclude is one of these is fake! A dirty, dirty fake!

Well the Turin Shroud was proved to be a fake by carbon dating and no such person as Veronica appears in the new Testament so that story is probably false too.
When it comes to stories about religion I think large amounts of salt should be taken.

Regarding the Shroud of Turin, there seems to be enough evidence to indicate that it may be authentic.

...Arguments and evidence cited against a miraculous origin of the shroud images include a letter from a medieval bishop to the Avignon pope claiming personal knowledge that the image was cleverly painted to gain money from pilgrims; radiocarbon tests in 1988 that yielded a medieval timeframe for the cloth's fabrication; and analysis of the image by microscopist Walter McCrone, who concluded ordinary pigments were used.

Arguments and evidence cited for the shroud's being something other than a medieval forgery include textile and material analysis pointing to a 1st-century origin; the unusual properties of the image itself which some claim could not have been produced by any image forming technique known before the 19th century; objective indications that the 1988 radiocarbon dating was invalid due to improper testing technique; a 2005 study proving that the sample used in the 1988 radiocarbon dating came from a medieval patch and not the original Shroud; and repeated peer-reviewed analyses of the image mode which contradict McCrone's assertions. Also, pollen from many places the shroud was said to have gone through are found, such as pollen from plants that exist only in certain areas near Jerusalem.

Both skeptics and proponents tend to have entrenched positions on the cause of formation of the shroud image, which has made dialogue very difficult. This may prevent the issue from ever being fully settled to the satisfaction of all sides...
