Eucharistic Miracle - Silla, Spain - 1907

Eucharistic Miracle
Silla, Spain - 1907 

Silla, Spain is located on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula about 10 miles south of Spain's third largest city Valencia.  

On the feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1907, Father Fernando Gomez pastor of the Church of Our Lady of the Angels in Silla, Spain discovered that the ciborium with the Consecrated Hosts was missing from the church tabernacle. 

Two days later, the Hosts were discovered hidden in a garden outside the city.  Father Gomez was called to recover the Hosts and he brought them back to the tabernacle in a solemn Eucharistic procession.

The parishioners provided a sacred vessel to protect the Hosts and they were kept in the Church of Our Lady of Angels.  In 1934 the Hosts were again evaluated and found to still be incorrupt.  At that time, the Archbishop of Valencia declared the preservation of the Hosts miraculous, and the sacred reliquary containing the Hosts was sealed with wax.  

In 1936, the official document proclaiming this a Eucharistic Miracle was burned during a fire at the Archbishop's office. In 1982 on the 75th Anniversary of this Miracle, Archbishop of Valencia Miguel Roca undertook a new canonical process by which he officially authorized veneration of the Hosts. 

Designed by Francisco Pechuan, the building of the Church of Our Lady of Angels began in 1750 but because of war in the area was not completed until 1851.  The Church of Our Lady of Angels is located at Placa del Poble, Silla, Spain, and the Hosts of this Eucharistic Miracle are housed and protected in the Tabernacle of Our Lady of Angels.  On the 100th Anniversary they were placed in a new reliquary and venerated in Eucharistic Procession. 

We do not have to go all the way to Spain to witness a Eucharistic Miracle.  Our Lord comes to us every time we are blessed to receive Him, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity at Mass during the Eucharist.  Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb.

Eucharistic Miracle - Onil, Spain - 1824

Eucharistic Miracle
Onil, Spain 1824
Feast Day - November 24 - 30

Onil is a municipality of Valencia, Spain, located about 24 miles north of Alicante. The history of Alicante is long and complicated, dating back over 7000 years.  Tribes from Central Europe arrived around 3000 BC,  the Romans arrived in 600 BC, and then the Goths around 500 AD.  Then there were the Moors in 700 AD who were in control until 1246 when it was taken by Castilian King Alfonso X.  Being a port city it was attacked over the years, suffered from revolution, communism and a dictatorship. Today Spain and subsequently Alicante is ruled by a democracy.  

Eucharistic Miracle 

The Catholic church in Onil was completed in 1778.  It is located on the western side of the Palace-Fortress of the "Marques de Dos Aguas."  It consists of a single nave and is decorated with frescoes. 

On November 15, 1824, Nicolas Bernabeu who had been an altar boy in the church of Onil committed a sacrilege by stealing the monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament. Nicolas was arrested but did not reveal where he had hidden the monstrance.  In the nearby town of Tibi, a woman by the name of Teresa Carbonell found the monstrance on November 28, 1824 and immediately returned it to the church in Onil.  

119 years later on November 28, 1943, Fr. Guillermo Hijarrubia confirmed the authenticity of the miracle, verifying that the Miraculous Host were still perfectly preserved in the monstrance.  

Today these Miraculous Hosts may still be venerated at the Church of Saint James the Apostle in Onil, which is located at Calle Mayor, 16 CP 03430, Onil, Alicante.  

The high altarpiece (shown below) was erected in honor of the Apostle Saint James "the Greater." In the side chapel off the main nave is the location of monstrance containing the Miraculous Hosts. They have been held here since November 28, 1824. The chapel is called the "Nostre Senyor Robat," meaning the Stolen Lord of Onil. 

We do not have to go all the way to Spain to witness a Eucharistic Miracle.  Our Lord comes to us every time we are blessed to receive Him, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity at Mass during the Eucharist.  Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb.

Eucharistic Miracle Cimballa, Aragon, Spain - 1370

Eucharistic Miracle 

Cimballa, Aragon, Spain - 1370

Feast Day - September 12 

Cimballa is a small municipality (143 inhabitants -census 2004) located on the basin of the Stone River, in the province of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain.  Cimballa can be traced back to King Alfonso I of Aragon in 1104.  

Eucharistic Miracle 

In 1370, Fr. Tommaso was pastor of a very small village church in the province of Zaragoza, in the Aragon Kingdom.  On a Sunday while he was saying Mass, he was overcome with doubt about the real presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Consecrated Eucharist. As he spoke the words of Consecration, Blood began to flow from the Host and stained the altar linen.  Fr. Tommaso repented his doubt and retired to do penance as a hermit for the rest of his life.  

The Bishop of Zaragoza, Pedro Perez Calvillo placed the Miraculous Host and the Sacred Blood Stained Altar Cloth in the Tabernacle for the villagers to worship.  Because of the continuous wars between Aragon and Castile, the Miraculous Host was moved to the Royal Chapel of the Palace of Zaragoza (Aljaferia).  At the request of the villagers of Cimballa the relic of the Sacred Cloth remained in Cimballa.  Since 1370 many miracles have been attributed to the Sacred Blood Stained Cloth.

In the 18th century a modest parish church was constructed on the site of a 12th century Roman temple in Cimballa. This church was dedicated to the Purification of Our Lady (Presentation in the Temple).  The main altarpiece consists of seven oil paintings on boards that narrate the life of Mary and Jesus.  

In a transept to the left of the main altar, there is a chapel dedicated to the Holy Mystery. It is here that the reliquary created in 1594 to store the relic of the Sacred Blood Stained Cloth is housed.  

Every year on September 12th, the anniversary of the Miracle, the relic of the Sacred Blood Stained Cloth leads a Eucharistic procession of the villagers of Cimballa. 

Today you may visit this church which is at the intersection of Calle Remacha Gregorio and Plaza, in Aragon.  

We do not have to go all the way to Spain to witness a Eucharistic Miracle.  Our Lord comes to us every time we are blessed to receive Him, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity at Mass during the Eucharist.  Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb.
