An Art History graduate student stumbles upon the love of her life
and a long-lost manuscript at a medieval monastery outside Orvieto
in Umbria. The manuscript records the memories of a monk, Brother
Matteo, who in 1263-as a thirteen-year-old foundling, with his
Master, his Lady, and his "brother," the gentle giant
Giorgio-became part of an unofficial investigation into the newly
reported miracle in the ancient town of Bolsena. According to the
report, when Father Peter of Bohemia said the words of consecration
("This is My Body") at a pilgrims' Mass, the communion host bled
Christ's Blood onto the altar cloth. In the course of their
investigation, Matteo and his family are drawn into the political
turmoil of the times, and Matteo learns that this world is, after
all, a vale of tears-but also a place of miracles. The Art History
graduate student, who has translated and edited Brother Matteo's "A
True History of the Miracle of Bolsena," invites her readers to go
to present-day Orvieto to see the relics of the Miracle and the
priceless works of art that commemorate it-and, wherever they are,
to remain open to life's true miracles.
