Natuzza Evolo & The Stigmatic Blood Writings: Hemography

[Michie]

Blood writings from the stigmata of Natuzza Evolo (1924-2009)

-A fascinating investigation into the phenomenon of hemography in the life of the stigmatic and mystic Natuzza Evolo.

By: Glenn Dallaire

Hemography is the process whereby blood from the stigmata or bloody sweat is miraculously formed into christian writing, images, and symbols upon hankerchiefs, bandages etc., presumably through Divine intervention. As blood from a mystic bearing the stigmata is symbolic of Jesus' Passion, the images, writings and symbols themselves often symbolise the Passion and other mysteries of the christian faith, especially also the Eucharist, as seen in the accompanying photographs in this article.

At the beginning of this investigation I must confess that I was very skeptical towards this phenomenon because I have only found its presence in the lives of two alleged mystics, Natuzza Evolo and Blessed Elena Aiello, and in the latter it appears to have only occurred on one occasion, when after some blood from her stigmata accidentally splattered onto the wall next to her bed, a miraculous image of Jesus suddenly appeared on the wall, formed from the blood itself, and remained there for many months.

My grandmother and aunt met this woman. I grew up learning about Natuzza as a child. I was never sure posting about her here in OBOB. I, as well as my family members, have received our own "little miracles" related to Natuzza. She told my grandmother this: when our rosary beads get tied in a knot, its usually a sign from God. My grandmother and aunt have actually had amazing things happen when visiting Natuzza. I have a biography on her as well as photos of the stigmata. She was very much part of my life growing up.

I've never heard of her but I'd like to know more about her.
