If you are curious about the stigmata...
... here are some links you can check out.
The Catholic
Encyclopedia gives the official story, or at any rate the
official story as it was in about 1913. Since the online edition
dates from the beginning of the century, it does not include the most
famous stigmatic of the twentieth century, Padre Pio.
If this omission worries you,
Padre Pio has his own
homepage.
You may also be interested in the account of
someone who claims
to have met a stigmatic recently at a conference...
Or perhaps a dose of
skepticism
is in order.
