The Holographic Universe
“—St. Augustine Every year in September and May a huge crowd gathers at the Duomo San Gennaro, the principal cathedral of Naples, to witness a miracle. The miracle involves a small via! containing a brown crusty substance alleged to be the blood of San Gennaro, or St.
Januarius, who was beheaded by the Roman emperor Diocletian in A.D. 305.
According to legend, after the saint was martyred a serving woman collected some of his blood as a relic. No one knows precisely what happened after that, sav...e that the blood didn't turn up again until the end of the thirteenth century when it was ensconced in a silver reliquary in the cathedral.
The miracle is that twice yearly, when the crowd shouts at the vial, the brown crusty substance changes into a bubbling, bright red liquid. There is little doubt that the liquid is real blood. In 1902 a group of scientists from the University of Naples made a spectroscopic analysis of the liquid by passing a beam of light through it, verifying that it was blood.MoreLess
