According to [[Eusebius]] in his history of the [[church]], there lived a woman at [[Caesaria]] who was the woman of [[Matthew]] 9:20-22:

:''And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:''  

:''And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:''  

:''For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.''  

:''For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.''  

It was claimed that this woman was the Veronica who wiped Jesus' brow, according to the apocryphal ''Acts of Pilate''.  In her later life she had moved to [[France]] after marrying a [[Christian]] convert, Zaccheus (from Luke 19:1–10). She lived and died in the Bordeaux district, having also brought relics of the [[Virgin Mary]].
