Miracle Bleeding From ‘Sacramental Bread’ At Secunderabad Church

Hyderabad: Christians and locals thronged St Francis High School chapel in Secunderabad on Sunday after news of a sacramental bread 'exuding blood' which was kept at the altar.

Sisters from St Francis Convent organized an Eucharistic Adoration in the chapel in the afternoon. A group of six people started praying after the sacramental bread was put up in the Monstrance and kept on the altar. After 10 minutes, one of the group members noticed a red stain on sacramental bread.

This is the first time that blood has been exuded from an Eucharistic Host in Telugu states

“It seemed to be like a small scar. After some time, a drop of blood gushed out and spread all over the Host,” sister said.

Many said it was a message from Jesus. One of the devotees said that Jesus bled when he was wounded and if Jesus is bleeding now it is because of people’s sin, adding that people should mend their sinful behaviors and should turn to him.

However, official statement is yet to come from Archdiocese of Hyderabad. Sources say church members usually call it as miracle stating as- apparitions.

This is the first time that blood has been exuded from an Eucharistic Host in Telugu states. However blood coming from Mother Mary's statue had been witnessed in Andhra Pradesh earlier.
