    • Does anyone have a list of the Saints who have received the Stigmata?
    Also are there any books about it?
    Are Stigmata always actively bleeding lesions?
    This has fascinated me since I was a child. I forgot about it until recently begining again to read about the Saints.

    • It is interesting that the vast majority of stigmatists appear to be women.  It is also interesting that there seem to be no stigmatists in the Eastern church.  I am not sure what if anything this means, but it is interesting.
