Padre Pio received the miracle of stigmata (bodily marks corresponding to the wounds suffered by the crucified Jesus) for the first time in 1910. These marks disappeared, but he again received them in 1918, which remained until his death in 1968. Padre Pio also performed many healing miracles in his lifetime. For example, in 1962 Karol Wojtyła, who was then archbishop of Kraków, Poland, and later became Pope John Paul II) wrote to Padre Pio to ask him to pray for a Polish woman with throat cancer. She was reportedly healed within two weeks of Pio’s receiving the letter.
