In 1370, stolen consecrated Hosts were stabbed with daggers in a desecration ritual. The Hosts began to bleed profusely. The bleeding Hosts were recovered and brought to the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, where they were venerated for centuries. The miracle is commemorated in the cathedral's magnificent stained glass windows.
Historical records document the bleeding of the Hosts as witnessed by multiple people. The Hosts were preserved and venerated in the cathedral for centuries.
My visit to the Miracle of Brussels miracle site in Brussels was part of a larger pilgrimage through Belgium. Of all the places I visited, this one left the deepest impression. The evidence is right there, preserved for anyone willing to look.
