The bible is a lil....off with some of its facts i have to admit.
Stigmata are bodily marks, sores, or sensations of pain corresponding in location to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus, usually occurring during states of religious ecstasy or hysteria.
Scientists can replicate stigmata in controlled settings and psychologists attribute the phenomena to a psychosomatic disorder.
My mother is a registered nurse. I remember one time my mother telling me about a nun she was treating. She was sent to the hospital for self inflicted wounds on her hands. My mother said that she had a circular wound in each one of her palms that bled constantly. Again the nun was forced to the hospital by the church. N my mothers shift, she was changing the Nuns dressings on her hands, after she done, my mother was about to leave the room. The person who was put on watch to look over the nun screamed for my mother out the door. My mother came back in the room, and saw that the nun was bleeding profusely from her feet. wounds had manifested on the nun's feet covering her bed in blood.
My mother said that the nun said, "that's never happened before" My mother asked what happened, and was shocked to see this. The nun said that the wounds never came from her feet before. My mom asked what she meant, and the nun said that this only happened to her hands, explaining that it happens every ounce in a while.
you can believe this or not, but my mother saw it happened, as did three other nurses she works with who are good friends with my mother. they all say the same thing. Seeing how the person put on watch to look over the nun, witnessed these woulds appear out of no where on her feet suggests to me that stigmata is very possible.
