In 1824, a stolen sacred host recovered intact and incorrupted after remaining long in the open.
Documented history and memory received
Onil retains a form associated with a robbery in 1824 and its subsequent recovery. The continuity of custody and parish memory are the historical core; the claims of incorruptibility are described according to local tradition and not as a conclusion of a contemporary scientific study. The tab avoids comparing the object with relics from other places or giving it automatic protection.
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.
History, tradition and discernment
Custody and parish memory; prodigious conservation not affirmed as a scientific conclusion. The tab retains the memory received without turning legend, witness or believing interpretation into a historically demonstrated fact.
Celebration and devotional life
Festivity or main time: without own liturgical date documented in the main source.
No automatic promise or prodigy guarantee is documented. Eucharistic veneration leads to mass, veneration, conversion, repair and charity.
