The next Eucharistic miracle is from Erding, Germany.
“On
Holy Thursday 1417 a peasant stole a consecrated Host, which, in the course of
his journey, escaped from his hands and flew away in the air. He tried in vain to catch the Sacred
Host. It was only thanks to the direct
intervention of the Bishop that he was able to recover the Sacred
Particle. A chapel was immediately built
on the site where the miracle occurred. There were many cures and wonders
attributed to the veneration of this miracle.”

Fatima – The Sixth Apparition, Part 5.
In
our last entry, the final and most spectacular apparition had occurred in front
of tens of thousands of people.
“Our
Lord, already so much offended by the sins of mankind and particularly by the
mistreatment of the children by the officials of the county, could easily have
destroyed the world on that eventful day.
However, Our Lord did not come to destroy, but to save.
Our
Lord would have stopped the great World war then raging and given peace to the
world through Saint Joseph, Jacinta later declared, if the children had not
been arrested….”
Some
of the testimonies of what happened at the time of the sixth apparition are as
follows.
“’At
one o’clock…the rain stopped,’ O Dia
[a secular newspaper] reported. [The
sun] began changing as if into a shining silver disc…. [The sun] was seen to rotate and wander
within the circle of the receded clouds…
Then as if it were shining through the stained glass windows of a great
cathedral, the light became a rare blue, spreading its rays upon the gigantic
nave… Slowly the blue faded away and now the light seemed to be filtered
through yellow stained glass….” The
yellow fell as spots upon clothing and the landscape. “All the people were weeping and praying….”
O Seculo,
another secular newspaper, reported, “’we saw the immense multitude turn
towards the sun at its highest, free of all clouds. The sun called to mind a plate of dull
silver. It could be stared at without
the least effort. It did not burn or
blind. It seemed that an eclipse was
taking place. All of a sudden a
tremendous shout burst forth, ‘Miracle, miracle!’ The sun trembled…the sun danced….’”
Some
reported seeing “the smiling face of the Blessed Virgin Herself; they swore
that the sun turned around on itself as if it were a wheel of fireworks….”
“Nearby,
there was a godless man who had spent the morning making fun of the simpletons
who had gone to Fatima just to see a girl.
I looked at him as he was numbed, his eyes riveted on the sun. I saw him tremble from head to foot. Then he raised his hands towards Heaven, as
he was kneeling there in the mud, and cried out, ‘Our Lady, Our Lady.’”
“During
the minutes that the miracle lasted, everything around us reflected all the
colors of the rainbow.”
“As
the miracle came to its end and the people arose from the muddy ground, another
surprise awaited them. A few minutes
before, they had been standing in the pouring rain, soaked to the skin. Now they noticed that their clothes were
perfectly dry.”
