Eucharistic Miracle of

TIXTLA

MEXICO, OCTOBER 21, 2006

“The ecclesiastical authority

wanted likewise to specify that

in a Catholic context the Miracle

distinguishes itself for the

following aspects:

1. Theological:

The intervention comes from

God. It is of divine origin.

2. Objectivity:

The ‘alteration’ of the causes

or natural laws is evident.

3. Subjectivity:

Whoever accepts the miracle

‘recognizes or accepts’ with an

act of Faith that the extraordinary

event comes from the loving

Will of God.

4. Purpose:

It has as its end the good of

one or many people.”

he scientific research conducted between October

2009 and October 2012 came to the following

conclusions, presented on May 25, 2013 during the

course of an international Symposium held by the

Diocese of Chilpancingo, on the occasion of the Year of

Faith, and which saw the participation of millions of

people coming from four continents

“1. The reddish substance analyzed corresponds to

blood in which there are hemoglobin and DNA of human

origin.

2. Two studies conducted by eminent forensic experts

with different methodologies have shown that the

substance originates from the interior, excluding the hypothe-

sis that someone could have placed it from the exterior.

3. The blood type is AB, similar to the one found in the

Host of Lanciano and in the Holy Shroud of Turin.

A microscopic analysis of magnification and

penetration reveals that the superior part of the

blood has been coagulated since October 2006.

Moreover, the underlying internal layers reveal, in

February 2010, the presence of fresh blood.

5. They also found intact white blood cells, red blood

cells, and active macrophages that engulf lipids. The

tissue in question appears lacerated and with recovery

mechanisms, exactly as occurs in a living tissue.

6. A further histopathological analysis determines

the presence of protein structures in a state of

deterioration, suggesting mesenchymal cells, very

specialized cells, characterized by an elevated

bio-physiological dynamism.

7. The immunohistochemical studies reveal that

the tissue found corresponds to the muscle of the heart

(Myocardium). On account of the scientific results

and the conclusions reached by the theological com-

mittee, last October 12 the Bishop of Chilpancingo,

his Eminence Alejo Zavala Castro, announced the

following:

- The event does not have a natural explanation.

- It does not have paranormal origin.

- It is not traceable to manipulation of the enemy.”

Within the graphic, in the drawing c it is seen clearly how the flow of blood

occurred, from the interior towards the exterior. In the drawing a it is seen

how it would have been if someone had inserted some blood from the exterior.

It would have expanded into all the channels. There is no situation b in

which someone could put some liquid which entered only through two

channels and the rest remaining on the surface without being absorbed.

Graphic which illustrates how the blood flowed from the interior of

the host towards the exterior, as it occurs with a wound.

When there is the presence of human DNA one thinks that also the genetic

profile can be automatically obtained. Interestingly in all the studies

performed on the images that sweated blood or in the consecrated Hosts

that have bled the presence of DNA was found, but when the work of

sequencing to extract the genetic profile was done, they were never able to

obtain it. The theologians say that since Jesus does not have a father, his

father is the Holy Spirit, it is not possible to obtain his genetic profile.

The Gene Ex genetics laboratory

in Bolivia performed another

study and confirmed that it

was human blood of the type

AB just like the one found in

the cloth of the Shroud of

Turin and of the Eucharistic

Miracle that occurred in

Lanciano in 700 AD.

By analyzing the Host it was

observed that it was human

blood of type AB and that it

corresponded to tissue. Then

an analysis was done of

phytochemical markers which

confirmed that it was live

cardiac muscle. No study

exists that can maintain alive a

cardiac tissue in this situation.

Normally after 48 hours the

tissue dies, here 3 months

passed before the result could

be obtained and this is truly

unexplainable for science.

Professor John Compagno, one

of the preeminent histopatholo-

gists who study tissues, discovered

that there was the presence of

mesenchymal cells and of tissue

of white blood cells and red

blood cells, but to arrive to say

that it was heart muscle further

exams had to be done and the

result arrived only after 2 years.

In 2010, by means of a study of digital microscopic penetration through

the shooting of ultraviolet rays and intense white light it was demon-

strated that the tissue seen in the upper part of the Host showed some

dry coagulated blood. The analyses showed moreover that under the

Blood already coagulated beyond some structures of the white Host,

there was also the presence of fresh Blood. Also this analysis confirmed

the fact that the blood was not placed by someone from the exterior

because if it were like this it could not r

emain fresh for so much time

(from 2006 to 2010) only in the internal part of the Host.

Professor Carlos Parellada, of the

Francisco Marroquín University

in Guatemala, shows in one of the

photos taken of the sample of the

miraculous Host, how the presence

of longitudinal fibrillar structures is

evident. By observing the image

one sees well the bifurcation that

was made evident, which is typical

of the muscular cardiac fiber, that

is of the heart.
