Stigmata (singular stigma) is a term used by members of the Christian faith to describe bodily marks, sores, or sensations of pain in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ.

Stigmata are mystical phenomena where holy men or women receive some or all of the bodily wounds of Christ’s crucifixion. This tradition is a sign of closeness with God through sharing in Christ’s suffering.

Padre Pio's Transverberation
On Aug 5, 1918, Padre Pio received the mystical wound of love known as the transverberation or transfixion of the heart. ​The transverberation is a rare mystical gift of sanctifying grace, experienced by a small number of chosen souls in the history of Christianity. It is described in mystical theology as the extraordinary phenomenon in which a celestial being such as an angel or seraph is seen and pierces the heart or side with a lance.

Bilocation is a special gift of God where an individual can be in two places at once. God always uses this gift for acts of mercy or charity to be performed by the Saint, in circumstances where it is physically impossible for the Saint to be present under normal circumstances.

While the gift of bilocation has been given to countless saints. Probably one of the most frequently documented occurred in the extraordinary life of the beloved St Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968).

It is said that when Padre Pio was very young, he began having visions of his guardian angel, and of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Padre Pio was convinced that everyone could have the same visions he did.
