On September 20, 1918, Padre Pio was kneeling at a crucifix when he received the visible marks of the crucifixion. The blood from the stigmata had an odor similar to that of perfume or flowers, and Padre Pio received the gifts of bilocation, levitation and healing by touch. After WWII, Padre Pio himself became a point of pilgrimage. He would hear confessions by the hour, reportedly able to read the consciences of those who held back.
Padre Pio died on September 23, 1968 and was canonized in 2002. He is recognized today as the patron of those in need of healing.
