The Vatican has approved the appearance of Christ’s face on a Sacred Host during Mass in a Kerala church 12 years ago as a Eucharistic miracle. Abp Joseph Pamplany of Tellicherry on May 9 said the apo-stolic nuncio to India had relayed the Vatican recognition to the arch-diocese. The archbishop made the official confirmation at a ceremony in Christ the King Church in Vilakka-nnur, a village in Kerala’s Kannur district and a parish under the arch-diocese, where the miracle occurred on Novem. 15, 2013. Father Mathew Paravarakath, the current parish priest, told that he and the parish community are thrilled that their prayers for the Vatican recognition have been finally answered.
