Hello! We are now Religious Bodies, the Twitter account for several research projects on bodies in Christian history. We used to be about stigmata, but we've been branching out a bit. You're very welcome at our website https://t.co/3yI8nuinJH!
As well as the 5 touring relics displayed reverently at the altar, a man was blessing people in the church ailse with a framed mitt worn by Pio (pic below).Padre's Pio's fingerless mitts are famously entwined with his image as they dressed the stigmata wounds on his hands.
Padre Pio'a relics are currently on tour around Ireland - they were being venerated at tonight St Peters in Belfast and I was observing the devotional activity of parishioners. St Padre Pio was revered for having the same stigmata wounds of Jesus.

Celebrating siblings today #broerenzusdag, what better time to bring to mind Giuseppina and Teresa Comoglio, the 19th-century stigmatised sisters of Turin?
They shared in the Passion of Christ, and founded the brotherhood of Adorazione Quotidiana Universale Perpetua

Hard to believe this is already a week ago. Did I mention that we went ghost hunting and @letterenhuis allowed us to see its beautiful collection of death masks?
