Sanliurfa, Turkey) Abgar V Ukkama after they sent the artist failed to portray Christ: Christ washed his face, wiped it with a cloth (ubrus), which left a print, and handed it to the artist. Thus, according to legend, Mandylion became the first in the history of the icon.
Linen boards with the image of Christ for a long time kept in Edessa as the most important treasure of the city.
