@whackyrusty , stigmata is not the name for the actual wounds. It’s the name for wounds of similar appearance that some people get, in similar locations on the body as Christ’s wounds, but no one knows the cause for sure. People believe that some individuals show “wounds” on the palms of their hands and their feet (like the wounds of Christ when he was nailed to the cross) miraculously, i.e., they just appear, often on Good Friday.
