First Miracle

One miracle that has been identified as Padre Pio's first miracle occurred in 1908. At that time he lived in the monastery of Montefusco. One day he gathered chestnuts growing in a nearby forest into a bag and sent the bag to Pietrelcina to his aunt Daria. The woman received and ate the chestnuts. She saved the bag as a souvenir. A few days later, she was looking for something in a drawer where her husband usually kept the gun powder. It was in the evening, she used a candle to light up the room when suddenly the drawer caught on fire, and his 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.
