  • Someone heard him shouting.
  • 1) "Francesco Forgione, later known as Padre Pio, (May 25, 1887 – September 23, 1968), canonized as Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, was an Italian Roman Catholic Capuchin priest who is now venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. He was given the name Pio when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, and was popularly known as Padre Pio after his ordination to the priesthood. He became famous for his stigmata." "On March 3, 2008 the body of Saint Pio was exhumed from his crypt so that his remains could be prepared for display. Witnesses described Pio's body as being in fair condition. Archbishop Domenico D'Ambrosio, papal legate to the shrine in San Giovanni Rotondo, stated that St. Pio's hands "looked like they had just undergone a manicure". It is hoped that morticians will be able to restore the face so that it will be recognizable. Current plans call for Pio's body to be placed in a glass coffin and displayed after April 24th."

The body of the mystic monk Padre Pio, one of the Roman Catholic world's most revered saints who died 40 years ago, has been exhumed to be prepared for display to his many devotees. The body of the Capuchin friar, who was said to have had the stigmata -- the wounds of Christ's crucifixion -- on his hands and feet -- is to be conserved and put in a part-glass coffin for at least several months from April 24."
