Blood Flows from

streamed from her forehead for the

During the manifestation, which
many regard as a miracle, the
crowds of faithful who yearly make
a pilgrimage to Cosenza knelt IN

Priests and physicians at the
nuns bedside made no effort to
stem the flow of blood, which stain
ed one pillow after another. For
l6 years the phenomenon never
has failed to occur on the Saddes'
day of the Holy week, the day mark
ing the crucifixion of Christ.
On previous occasions the bleed
ing usually has stopped about mid
night leaving Sister Elena's face
chalk white.
Catholics. awed by the NANTES

flowed from the nuns forehead in

of Christ when a crown of thorns
was pressed on his brow.
Physicians said that Sister Elena
did not appear to suffer and that
her lips were opened in a faint
smile during most of the day.
