Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore an unsettling and scary phenomenon: Stigmata.
Believed to correspond to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ, stigmata appears unexpectedly on a person's hands, feet, side, head, and back. Since the 1200's, the Roman Catholic Church has officially recognized over 300 stigmatists, who believe bearing stigmata are a blessing from God.
Is stigmata real or nothing more than religious hysteria? And does the appearance of stigmata indicate God’s blessings, or are they cruel and torturous?
Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
