During mass at a parish retreat in the diocese of Chilpancingo-Chilapa, Mexico, on October 21, 2006, a sister was serving as Eucharistic minister when a reddish substance began to appear on the host that she was holding. The bishop at the time formed a group consisting of scientists who spent three years investigating whether this was a supernatural event.
The team of researchers found that the blood type was AB, which was the same as the blood type found at other miracles, the interior layer of the blood was fresh, the blood had intact white and red blood cells, the tissue was heart muscle, and there were some remnants of DNA. The event is pending official approval from the Holy See, however, based on the research that was completed by the scientists and forensic experts, the bishop of Chilpancingo concluded that this was a “divine sign” and “true miracle.” Blessed Carlo Acutis had passed just days before the event took place, and some consider this event to be related to his commitment to finding and understanding Jesus more through his research of the Eucharist and bringing it to the world.
