Miracle of Daroca
Daroca, Spain
The Miracle
During the Reconquista, six consecrated Hosts were hidden in a corporal to protect them during battle against the Moors. When the corporal was unwrapped after the battle, the Hosts were found to be stained with blood and fused to the cloth. The bloodstained corporal is preserved in the Basilica of Daroca.
Scientific Findings
The corporal with the six bloodstained Hosts has been preserved for nearly 800 years. Historical examinations have confirmed the presence of blood on the cloth and Hosts. The fusion of the Hosts to the cloth is considered unusual and has not been replicated under natural conditions.
My visit to Miracle of Daroca
Standing in the church where the Eucharistic miracle of Miracle of Daroca took place was overwhelming. In Daroca, you can see the actual miraculous elements preserved behind glass. The scientific evidence is displayed alongside, which I found compelling.
