During a Holy Mass at St. Anthony church in Sokolka, Poland, a priest was giving Holy Communion and a consecrated host fell to the ground. According to the church tradition, the host will need to be placed in a small container of water for it to dissolve fully before it can be poured and disposed properly. The priest asked a parish sacristan to place the host in a safe place. Several days later, she went back to check on the host and noticed a delicate aroma of unleavened bread. She noticed the host only dissolved a little bit but the host was actually changing to a bright red color, like a blood stain.
On October 29, the stained host was placed in a corporal, which is a piece of cloth that’s used at mass which was then put in the tabernacle. The host was kept as is for 3 years. Some scientist tests were conducted on the sample and they concluded that what looked like a blood clot was actually a heart tissue of someone who is near death. They also found that the fragments of the Eucharistic bread and the human heart tissue were interconnected on a microscopic level which is impossible to replica even with the advanced tools available or the scientists of NASA.
