Are there any non-Catholic cases of the Stigmata?

According to Rita Marley, Rastafarian Haile Selassie was a stigmata.

Hi, Simon.

I'd like to set something straight here - Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie was *not* Rastafarian. He was an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian, whom the Rastafarians tried to make into their "god" - a new incarnation of Christ, I think is what they believed. Emperor Selassie wanted nothing to do with it, and tried to disabuse them of that notion.

And btw, Bob Marley became an Orthodox Christian and was baptized into Christ before he died.

I have seen on unsolved mysteries in the 80's a Orthodox Christian women bear the marks of stigmata. I have heard about one Lutheran who also did. But I do not know more about them. I think it is a Catholic gift primarily but some others may seem to have it authentically as we know St. Paul also did.

If you mean Myrna Nazzour, she is Greek-Catholic. Her husband is Orthodox... but she is not.

According to OCA - Q & A - Manifestations:

Stigmata, such as manifested in Padre Pio, are foreign to the Orthodox experience and, as such, the Church has no official position in this regard.
