Miracle of Rimini

Rimini, Italy

Eucharistic miracle of adoration (mule kneeling)

The Miracle

St. Anthony of Padua challenged a heretic who denied the Real Presence. The heretic agreed that if his starving mule knelt before the Blessed Sacrament instead of eating, he would believe. The mule, despite being starved for three days, ignored the food and knelt before the Eucharist.

Scientific Findings

The miracle is documented in the earliest biographies of St. Anthony of Padua, written within decades of the event. Multiple independent sources corroborate the account. The miracle was witnessed by a large public crowd in Rimini's central square.

My visit to Miracle of Rimini

I brought my teenage children to see the Miracle of Rimini miracle in Rimini. They were skeptical at first, but seeing the actual evidence and reading the scientific reports changed their perspective. We had a wonderful family discussion afterward.
