The First Great Miracle of the Catholic Church


The Miracle of the Eucharist, Lanciano
In 700AD, during a communion service in Lanciano, a monk questioned the belief that the wine and bread used in the service truly represented the ‘blood and body of Christ’. In what is now described as 'the first great miracle of the Catholic Church’, this wine and bread was transformed into real flesh and blood. In 1971, independent scientific tests confirmed the still perfectly-preserved flesh to be part of a human heart and the blood to be human blood, of type AB. This is the same blood-type that's been identified on the Turin Shroud. These significant relics are on open display in the Church of the Eucharistic Miracle in Lanciano.
