In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic
Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the
thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the
'stigmatic': young women who attracted widespread interest thanks
to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the
popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the
'saints' and religious 'celebrities' of their time. With their
'miraculous' bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not
necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge
about them spread via modern media and their fame became
marketable, they developed into religious 'celebrities'.
