The Miracle
A dying man received Communion but vomited. The vomit was thrown into a fire, but the next morning the consecrated Host was found intact and unburned among the ashes. The Host survived a second fire when the house burned down. The miracle became the founding event of Amsterdam's civic identity.
Scientific Findings
The miracle is extensively documented in historical records from the 14th century onward. The survival of the Host through two separate fires was witnessed by multiple people and formally investigated by Church authorities. The annual Stille Omgang procession has continued for nearly 700 years, serving as continuous testimony to the event.
