Saint Francis is the first recorded stigmatic: someone who miraculously bears the bloody marks of the Crucifixion on their bodies. There are five Holy Wounds in total. Stigmatics through the centuries have borne one or all of these wounds as a mark of a deeply personal relationship with Jesus. 

Join Eric Huang, the host of Saint Podcast – for a history and culture podcast that explores legends of the saints – in a talk that traces the history of this mystical and painful phenomenon, one that manifests among the faithful to this day and remains a controversial marvel both within and without the Catholic Church.
