Hello – I was out of town for workshop and I am back. Now it’s almost 930 PM, normally I rests in the evenings. But I knew many of you are waiting for next vlog so I went ahead to finish my vlog. Are you ready?

In 1330 at Walldurn, Germany - the name of church is not known – Fr Heinrich Otto celebrated Mass, he accidently knocked over the chalice with Christ’s Blood and it spilled all over his corporal.

The Precious Blood on the corporal became a red image of the Crucified Christ surrounded by eleven identified images of Christ’s Head crowned with thorns. The priest did not have the courage to show the miracle to others, so he hid the corporal under the altar for many years.

Before his death, he confessed to another priest about what had happened, and he informed the priest of where the corporal was. The priest found it and passed it to the Pope.

Years later in 1445, Pope Eugene IV declared that the miracle was true. That miracle became famous throughout all of Europe. Between 1698 and 1728 the basilica was constructed by Franz Lothar von Schonborn – the Archbishop of Mainz.

In 1962, Pope John XXIII named it a minor basilica of St George’s church. Augustinian monks have been caretakers of this church since 1938.

The miraculous corporal is still at St George’s church.

Let you know that I was born in 1962 also my middle name is George after my godfather.

More next week.
