This website is a private, lay-operated resource and is not an official publication of any diocese, bishops’ conference, or the Holy See. Inclusion of an event on this site does not constitute Church endorsement of its supernatural origin. The Church’s discernment of alleged supernatural phenomena follows the norms established by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (2024).
The faithful are free to form their own judgment regarding reported miraculous events, consistent with Catholic teaching. The recognition statuses used on this site are editorial classifications based on available documentation, not canonical categories.
MiraculumDei is a non-profit, lay-operated project created as an act of love to spread devotion to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. We don’t run ads or sell anything. To help cover hosting and development costs, and to support future improvements like new languages and expanded content, we accept optional donations.
Saint Carlo Acutis (1991–2006) researched and documented over 130 Eucharistic miracles as a teenager, creating an international exhibition that has traveled to parishes and cathedrals across six continents. Canonized in 2025, he is known as the Patron Saint of the Internet. This atlas builds on his work, making it digitally accessible and expandable.
We present reported Eucharistic phenomena from the perspective of Catholic faith, inviting reflection on Christ’s presence in the Eucharist. It is not a neutral academic resource — it is an act of evangelization rooted in love for the Real Presence.
MiraculumDei is not a registered charity, nonprofit organization, or religious institution, and is independent of any diocese, bishops' conference, or the Holy See. Donations are voluntary and are not tax-deductible.

In the Catholic faith, Christ is truly, really, and substantially present in the Eucharist through what the Church calls transubstantiation. A Eucharistic miracle is an extraordinary event involving the consecrated host or precious blood — a providential sign that makes visible what faith already affirms. These typically manifest as the host transforming into human flesh or blood, or remaining miraculously preserved for centuries.
This atlas documents 130+ Eucharistic miracles spanning from the 4th century to the present day, occurring across 40+ countries on every inhabited continent. These range from scientifically investigated modern cases to historically attested ancient accounts, each documented with multiple primary sources.
A number of the miracles documented here hold official recognition through Vatican or papal decrees. The Church applies rigorous investigation standards — including scientific analysis, theological review, and historical verification — before granting formal approval. Many other miracles carry local diocesan recognition or are under active investigation.
The most recent reported Eucharistic phenomenon occurred in San Juan, Honduras in 2022, when a blood-stained corporal was discovered in the tabernacle. Other recent cases include Legnica, Poland (2013) and Sokółka, Poland (2008), both subjects of scientific investigation that identified what researchers described as human cardiac tissue.
The Miracle of Lanciano (circa 750 AD) is the most widely known, with flesh and blood relics preserved for over 1,200 years and identified as human cardiac tissue in Professor Linoli's 1970 analysis. The Miracle of Bolsena (1263) inspired Pope Urban IV to establish the Feast of Corpus Christi. Buenos Aires (1996) gained global attention when its investigation involved the future Pope Francis.
A number of the miracles in this database have undergone documented scientific investigation. Some modern laboratory analyses have identified what investigators describe as human cardiac tissue and blood in consecrated hosts. These analyses were typically commissioned by Church authorities and have not been independently replicated in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The Church considers scientific evidence as one factor among several in its discernment process.
The earliest documented Eucharistic miracle dates to approximately 375 AD, involving Saint Satyrus, brother of Saint Ambrose of Milan, who was saved from shipwreck after placing the Eucharist around his neck. The account comes directly from Saint Ambrose himself — one of the earliest patristic primary sources for a Eucharistic miracle.
The vast majority of documented Eucharistic miracles occur within the Catholic tradition. However, a few involve Eastern contexts: the Scete miracle (4th century Egypt) occurred among the Desert Fathers community, and the Chirattakonam miracle (2001, India) is associated with the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church — an Eastern Catholic rite in full communion with Rome.
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.'
Luke 22:19-20
