Padre Pio’s first miracle

Reportedly, Padre Pio’s first miracle occurred in 1908 while he was living in the monastery of Montefusco, in southern Italy. One day he collected a bag of chestnuts growing in a nearby forest and sent them to his Aunt Daria in Pietrelcina. She received and ate the chestnuts & saved the bag as a souvenir.

A few days later she was looking for something in a drawer where her husband stored the gun powder. It was dark and so she used a candle to light up the room when suddenly the drawer caught on fire, and Aunt Daria’s face got burned. After a moment, she took the bag Father Pio sent and put it on her face. Immediately, her pain disappeared and no wound or burn mark remained on her face.
