A host brought to a sorceress
started
to
bleed... Fear overcame her and she
went
home and put the Host in a trunk,
wrapped in her handkerchief and covered with clean
linen.
During the night she and her husband were awakened
by
a bright light coming from the trunk which
illuminated the room.
The wife told her husband of the incident and that
the trunk
contained a Consecrated Host. Both spent the night
on their
knees in adoration. A priest was called and took the
Host
back to the church and sealed it in melted
beeswax.
