In a host exposed to worship there appeared marks that resembled a human face, interpreted by the faithful as the face of Christ.
Documented history and memory received
In April 2001, faithful of the parish of Santa María de Chirattakonam said they observed marks that interpreted as a face in an exposed form. The episode was photographed and communicated in the context of the Syrian-Malankara Church. No decree has been found to declare it a miracle or conclusive material study. The fact sheet classifies it as contemporary testimony and devotional perception, without ensuring that the image is supernatural or that the form should receive veneration outside the Eucharistic norms.
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.
