Fresh flowers and leaves have sprouted with thorny crowns at the feet of Christ crucified in the church of Santi Silverio e Domitilla, on the Italian island of Ponza, in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Knitted by island sailors, the crown was placed for piety on the feet of Christ. The first wet leaves of it began to bloom in the Christmas period in December, but the phenomenon recurred these days. But this time, among the leaves, there are also some small pink flowers.
The priest of the church in the port of Ponza said that this miracle is â??an event that makes me think that from suffering, God begins the flowering of health, peace and life. It has been 4 months now that he continues to give us flowers and leaves. It is a sign of hope for us and for all humanity. "
Believers who visit the church regularly have the same opinion: â??For those who believe, this is a sign that our prayers these days have been heard in some way. It's an omen and a glimmer of hope, "said some.
