Last Sunday in The Marks of the Cross, Mrs Ethel Chapman told the story of how she received the stigmata.
Throughout history there have been 300 cases, the earliest undisputed case being that of St Francis of Assisi. Of the 300 the Roman Catholic Church has acknowledged the sanctity of 60, but condemned many others as fraudulent or hysterically induced.
Ted Harrison examines the case of Mrs Chapman with medical and theological experts and relates her experience to the history of stigmata. Producer CHRIS REES long wave only
