During Mass, a Basilian monk who doubted the Real Presence witnessed the bread transform into flesh and the wine into blood. The flesh and blood have been preserved for over 1,270 years.
Scientific Findings
In 1970-71, Professor Odoardo Linoli analyzed the relics and found: the flesh is real human cardiac tissue (myocardium); the blood is real human blood, type AB; the proteins in the blood are in the same ratio as found in fresh blood; no preservatives were detected. A WHO commission confirmed the findings in 1973-76.
