Seefeld

Country
Austria
When
1384

The little city of Seefeld is the goal of many pilgrimages because of the Eucharistic miracle that took place there in 1384.

During the Holy Thursday Mass a nobleman by the name of Oswald Milser, expected that the priest would give him Communion with the large Host.

At the moment he was about to receive Communion, the pavement began to tremble under him, and Oswald felt as if he was being sucked into it.

As the priest was returning the Host to the altar, live blood began to flow from it.

In the little city of Seefeld, Oswald Milser, Lord of Schlossberg, expected, at the Holy Thursday Mass, 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 dripping 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 it. 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.
