The Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, Italy

The Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy is a miraculous that occurred during the celebration of mass in the city of Lanciano, Italy. The monk that was giving the mass had began to doubt the real presence of the Christ in the bread and wine. After saying the words of consecration he noticed that the bread and wine had turned into a real piece of flesh and real blood. Many tests have been performed on the bread and wine turned into real flesh and real blood by real scientists and they have proven it to be a real flesh and real blood. They tested the blood type of the blood and it turned out to be AB, the same blood type that was found on the Shroud of Turin. They also discovered that the piece of flesh is one that would have been from a human and this flesh is consistent with that of the human heart.
It is almost coincidental that the miracle occurred in Lanciano, Italy. Lanciano is the Italian word for lance and this is coincidental because when Christ was dying on the cross, the roman soldier pierced the side of Christ and from it came water and blood. This is important because without Christ coming to earth as the only begotten son of Christ and dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins then the infinite gap created between us and God could not have been bridged.
The Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy is different from the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In the real presence Christ is present in spirit and the bread and wine symbolizes the body and blood of Christ which he instituted at the Last Supper. If the normal bread and wine of the Eucharist were to be tested by scientists then it would not turn out to be actual blood and flesh of Christ. In the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy, it actually became the body and blood of Christ and this could be backed up and tested by science.
