The Miracle Caught on Camera at Padre Pio's Last Mass

The Miracle Caught on Camera at Padre Pio's Last Mass In the footage of his final Mass, at dawn on September 22, 1968, Padre Pio's hands reveal something many had sworn was impossible for fifty years. The stigmata that had bled every day since 1918 were closing: on the backs of his hands, the marks were gone. And a few hours later, at his death, the skin was smooth — without a single scar. In this video we retrace the story of the stigmata of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina: how they appeared in 1918 in the choir of the friary at San Giovanni Rotondo, the fingerless mitts he used to hide them, the accusations of those who called him an impostor — from the carbolic-acid theory to the charge of hysteria — and the opposite verdict of the doctors who actually examined the wounds. All the way to the mystery of their disappearance, captured by the cameras during his last celebration and confirmed by the testimony of the friar who photographed his body. Because if those wounds had been a fraud, after fifty years some trace would have remained. Instead, in the end, his hands were clean.
