A careless priest placed a holy host within a brevity; when he opened it, he found the page dyed with blood with the image of Christ.

Documented history and memory received

Cascia retains in its lower basilica a relic linked to a 1330 narrative: a priest would have misplaced a form within a book and then found signs on its pages. Local custody and worship are verifiable; transformation, the face interpreted in the stain and the penance details belong to tradition. The fact sheet does not confuse this relicary with devotion to Saint Rita or legitimate practices that disrespect the Eucharist.

Who venerates the memory

The look is directed to Jesus Christ and to the mystery of his Incarnation, Passion, Death, Resurrection or Reign. The image, relic, monument or custom does not act by its own power: it serves the memory of the Gospel and leads to prayer, sacraments, conversion and charity.
