Do you believe that any of these are true relics of Christ?
Image of Edessa
King Abgarus of Edessa wrote to Jesus, asking him to come cure him of an illness. It was first recorded in the early 4th century by Eusebius of Caesarea (E.H. 1.13.5 and .22), who said that he had transcribed and translated the actual letter in the Syriac chancery documents of the king of Edessa. Instead, the apostle Thaddaeus is said to have come to Edessa, bearing a cloth featuring Jesus' facial features, by the virtues of which the king was miraculously healed.
The Sudarium of Oviedo
Archbishop Pelayo Meléndez, "the chronicler", came up with "relics from the Holy City of Jerusalem", including a blood stained rag said to be the face cloth of one dead Jesus referred to in John 20.7
Veil of Veronica
The faithful believe that Veronica from Jerusalem encountered Jesus along the Via Dolorosa on the way to Calvary. When she paused to wipe the sweat off his face with her veil, his image was imprinted on the cloth.

None of them. They are as much true relics as the hundreds of thousands of pieces of the cross that were sold across Europe during the Middle Ages.
In any case I am not interested in relics. I prefer to have to do with the living Christ Himself.

The Edessa cloth stands a chance of being the shroud of Turin. Icons of the Edessa cloth show a marked resemblance. There's a remote possibility that one's real.
