| Description: |
The small Church of St. Legontian, in Lanciano, Italy, has for over
twelve centuries contained the first and greatest Eucharistic Miracle of the Catholic Church. This wondrous event took place in the 8th century A.D. as a divine response to a Basilian monk's doubt about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Pictured is the actual Host, still venerated in the Church of St. Legontian: The flesh is real flesh, and consists of muscular tissue of
the heart,
John 6:35, 55-58. 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall
never be hungry, and whoever believes in me shall never be thirsty. My flesh is real food; my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells continually in me and I dwell in him. As the Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me shall live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread shall live forever.'
