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.

Time-Slips

  Time-Slips 26 November 2024 In the early years of the 20th century, two ladies visited the gardens of Versailles. Whilst there, they apparently slipped back in time to the late 18th century. They published a book describing their experience, which in later years was debunked as misperception and hallucination. Case closed. Or is it? There are a plethora of similar contemporary reports of apparent slips through time, from brief glimpses to full interactive experiences. Most reports describe features from the past, but a few describe possible slips forward in time. Dr Ann Winspe r has been researching people apparently travelling through time for the last 20 years. She describes some of these fascinating cases and looks at possible explanations, as well as how not all can be explained through misperception and psychology.
