The Miracle
On January 31, 1906, a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck the Pacific coast of Colombia. The parish priest of Tumaco placed the Blessed Sacrament on the beach facing the incoming tidal wave. The wave miraculously split and receded, sparing the town from destruction.
Scientific Findings
The 1906 earthquake and tsunami are well-documented geological events. The destruction of neighboring coastal towns is confirmed by historical records. The sparing of Tumaco, while surrounding areas were devastated, has been noted by historians. Witness testimonies describe the wave splitting and receding when confronted with the Blessed Sacrament.
My visit to Miracle of Tumaco
Standing in the church where the Eucharistic miracle of Miracle of Tumaco took place was overwhelming. In Tumaco, you can see the actual miraculous elements preserved behind glass. The scientific evidence is displayed alongside, which I found compelling.

My visit to Miracle of Tumaco
The Eucharistic miracle of Miracle of Tumaco in Tumaco 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.
