Miracle of Walldürn
Walldürn, Germany
The Miracle
A priest accidentally knocked over the chalice during Mass, spilling the consecrated wine onto the corporal. The wine formed an image of the crucified Christ surrounded by eleven images of the head of Christ wearing the crown of thorns. The bloodstained corporal is preserved in the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
Scientific Findings
The corporal has been preserved for nearly 700 years. The images formed by the consecrated wine remain clearly visible on the cloth. Examinations have confirmed the presence of blood components in the stains. The formation of recognizable images from spilled liquid is considered scientifically inexplicable, as liquid spills typically form random patterns rather than coherent images.
My visit to Miracle of Walldürn
My visit to the Miracle of Walldürn miracle site in Walldürn was part of a larger pilgrimage through Germany. Of all the places I visited, this one left the deepest impression. The evidence is right there, preserved for anyone willing to look.
