Miracle of Boxmeer
Boxmeer, Netherlands
The Miracle
A priest spilled consecrated wine on the corporal during Mass. The wine stain transformed into the image of a crucifix. The bloodstained corporal has been preserved for over 600 years and is displayed annually during the Holy Blood Procession.
Scientific Findings
The corporal with the cruciform blood stain has been preserved for over 600 years. The image of the crucifix formed by the wine stain has been examined and found to be remarkably detailed and consistent over the centuries. The formation of a recognizable image from a liquid spill is considered scientifically inexplicable.
My visit to Miracle of Boxmeer
The Eucharistic miracle of Miracle of Boxmeer in Boxmeer is one of those things you have to see in person to fully appreciate. Photos do not capture the feeling of standing before something that science cannot explain. I prayed the rosary there and felt deeply grateful.
