Jesus' Holy face appeared in the Holy Eucharist during Holy Mass.
Jesus' Holy face appeared in the Holy Eucharist during Holy Mass.
More than 10,000 people gathered at a village church under Tellicherry archdiocese in Kerala, India after news spread that Jesus’s face appeared on the Sacred Bread during morning Mass.
The archdiocese has rushed a team to investigate the phenomenon that occurred at Christ the King Church, Vilakannur, some 50 kilometers east of Kannur town.
“The Church does not encourage popularizing such incidents,” Parish priest Fr. Thomas Pathickal, 60, told. The 60-year-old priest, who came to the parish three years ago, said he has followed the instruction of Archbishop George Valiamattam of Tellicherry to keep the “miracle” host locked inside the tabernacle and hold prayers in the church.
More than 500 people are now praying in the church as they wait for the archdiocesan investigation team to decide on the public display of the host.
Top police officials from the district and vigilance department reached the place as people from other parishes flocked to Vilakannur and vehicles blocked the road to Paithalmala, a famous spot for adventure tourism.
Fr Pathickal said the phenomenon occurred as the parish was preparing for the Christ the King feast on November 24.
Narrating the incident, the priest said at the time of elevation during the 7 am Mass he noticed a spot on the large bread he used for consecration. “It became large and brighter and a face appeared soon.” The priest said he kept the host aside and continued Mass using another host kept in the tabernacle.
After the Mass he called the sacristan, who told him that it was the face of Jesus. The priest then placed the host in a monstrance and kept it on the altar for adoration. Hundreds of people such as K J Thomas saw the shining face of a bearded man with long hair. “It was black and white, not color,” Thomas told the news reporters.
Fr. Pathickal said the shining face was still seen when he locked the host inside the tabernacle around 11 am as instructed by the archbishop.
Thomas said his faith has doubled after seeing “the miracle.” He said he had come to Naduvil, the headquarters of the local panchayat, 3 km east, for some official matters when he heard about the news. “I rushed here and was lucky to see Jesus,” he added.
He said many people were upset as the priest refused to show them the host.
Established in 1962, the parish has more than 500 families and 1,250 Catholics, most of them second and third generation of people who had migrated from central Kerala last century.

Beware of a "new faith" established on the antitrinitarian monotheistic doctrine whose believers glorify themselves by practicing antitrinitarian irenism and interfaith dialogue excluding Jesus Christ.
All religions that deny foundational Christian doctrine dogma of the Holy Trinity and the unique deity of Jesus Christ are cults and false religions. Paul warns us in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 to let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day (of Lords return) will not come unless the falling away comes first. This suggests that there will be many who will be deceived before Christ's return. This is also confirmed in the Magisterium - Catholic Catechism:
The Church's ultimate trial
675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576
True ecumenism and dialogue should be based upon the defense and teaching of the dogma of the Holy Trinity for the love and salvation of all souls. Let us pray to Our Lady so that Her Son is the center of every action of men, especially those who are bulding the new false one world religion.
Matthew 1:21
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
