Historical Account & Miracle Chronicle
In the 8th century in Lanciano, Italy, a monk of the Order of St. Basil experienced severe doubts about whether the bread and wine truly became the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. One morning, while celebrating Mass, after pronouncing the words of consecration, he saw the bread visibly transform into living Flesh, and the wine into five distinct clots of Blood. The trembling priest wept with joy and called the congregation to witness the miracle.
