The Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena, Italy, 1264

Liliana Season 1 Episode 81

A pious German priest, who was on pilgrimage in Italy, had doubts about the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. During the consecration the Holy Host started bleeding and the Precious Blood trickle over his hands and onto the altar. Pope Urban IV, who resided on the neighbor city of Orvieto, was informed by the same priest and was prompted by this miracle to institute the Solemnity of Corpus Christi the following year. The relics of this miracle are exhibited in the Cathedral of Orvieto.
