The man was given the host, but later had to be sick. The maid threw the vomit on to the fire, and here’s where the magic begins. . . The host didn’t burn! The maid was able to retrieve it, unharmed, from the flames. The house was immediately declared a miracle site and a chapel was built on it. After that burnt down in 1452, an even larger church was built to replace it. Pilgrims came from all over Europe to pay homage to the sacred site. But the bizarre story doesn’t end there. For more than 200 years, processions were held in the city, proclaiming the Miracle of the Host. A wooden chest, supposedly housing the piece of regurgitated bread, was carried through the streets, along with banners depicting the scene of the miracle. Miracle Processions continued until 1578, when they were officially banned by the Protestants. But even up to the late 19 th century, silent processions were sometimes held in protest. 👥 Follow us on our social networks: Instagram:   / ewtnvatican   Twitter:   / ewtnvatican   Facebook:   / ewtnvatican
