Eucharistic Miracle of Seefeld, Austria

In the little city of Seefeld, Austria, Oswald Milser, Lord of Schlosberg, expected, at the Holy Thursday Mass, 1384, to receive the large host like that of the celebrating priest. But at the moment he was about to receive Communion, the pavement began to tremble and broke apart. Oswald grasped the altar so as not to fall, and the priest immediately took back the host from the man’s mouth.

The trembling stopped and live blood began to flow from the host. There were many witnesses who saw the miracle, and very soon the news spread throughout the whole nation. The Emperor Maximilian I himself was very devoted to the miracle. Today one can visit the Church of St. Oswald where the precious relic of the host, stained with blood, is exposed, and also view many paintings depicting the miracle.
