The Miracle
Consecrated Hosts that had been stored in a ciborium were found to have fused together into a single mass of flesh. The miracle was investigated by the Bishop of Volterra and the relic was preserved in the Cathedral.
Scientific Findings
The fused mass of Hosts was examined by Church authorities and found to have the consistency and appearance of flesh. The transformation of multiple separate Hosts into a single mass is considered scientifically inexplicable under normal conditions.
