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.

[Dr Emma J McAlister @emmajmca]

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

Finaly, 3) a few images that made me think of @TineV_Osselaer 's work on religious bodies. Could not find info about her, but will keep looking, her story is probably fascinating. A great reason to come back, next year 😉

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?
