Hello Superluminal-ga,
Here are some of the stories and documented evidence and eyewitnesses
of/on Padre Pio?s miracles, stigmata, levitation, and bi-location. He
became a Saint on 16 June 2002 by Pope John Paul II at Rome, Italy
Miracles:

Miracle of Signora Consiglia De Martino)

---------------------------------
Stigmata: (He was the first Stigmatic priest)

(Sidebar on right side)
?From the medical point of view, the stigmata cannot be considered as
wounds or sores, because they do not heal even when treated," Dr.
Silvestri explained. "They neither become infected nor do they
decompose; they do not degenerate in necrosis, and do not exude a bad
odor. They bleed and remain constant and unaltered for years, against
all laws of nature. The stigmata ?are the exact reproduction,
including the location, of Jesus' wounds, according to studies of the
holy Shroud? of Turin, Silvestri continued.?

Levitation:
?Here is Padre Ascanio's story: - We were waiting for Padre Pio who
was coming to hear confessions of the penitents. The church was
crowded and everybody watched the door through which Padre Pio would
enter. The door stayed closed but suddenly I saw father Pio walking
above the heads of the people, he reached the confessional, and then
disappeared. After some minutes he started to receive the penitents. I
didn't say anything, and I thought I was dreaming, but when I met him
I asked him: ?Father Pio, How did you manage to walk above the heads
of the people??. He jokingly responded: ?I can assure you, my child,
it's just like walking on the floor...?.?

Bi-location or Biolocation:
?Among the most remarkable of the documented cases of bilocation was
the Padre's appearance in the air over San Giovanni Rotondo during
World War II.?
