Vatican City, Vatican. 09th Feb, 2016. The relics of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, better known as Padre Pio, and Saint Leopold Mandic are displayed to faithful inside St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. Padre Pio became famous for bearing the stigmata, which are the marks of Christ, for most of his life, thereby generating much interest and controversy. He was both beatified (1999) and canonized (2002) by Pope John Paul II. © Giuseppe Ciccia/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
