The Miracle of Lanciano
In about 750 a priest-monk who doubted the Real Presence saw the Host turn into flesh and the wine into blood as he spoke the words of consecration. The relics, the Flesh and the Blood coagulated into five unequal clots, are still kept in the church of St Francis; a scientific study in 1970–71 identified the Flesh as heart muscle tissue.
