Baby In Quezon City Born With Jesus Christ’s Stigmata

Baby Jejomar Castillo of Quezon City was born with the stigmata of our Lord Jesus Christ and garnered thousands of believers.

Roman Catholics believe that our Lord Jesus Christ will return one day descending from heaven to gather all the believers. Christ has promised to return for the final judgment after dying on the cross and ascended to heaven more than 2, 000 years ago.

Jesus Christ has experienced rejection, accused, imprisoned, and condemned just to save us from our sins. He was persecuted and crucified until he dies with noticeable marks and wounds he suffered at the hands of his persecutor.

Stigmata

The manifestation of those marks and wounds on people is usually called as “Stigmata.” Those people who have stigmata were canonized as saints.

On March 15, 2017, a baby in Quezon City named Jejomar Castillo weighing 3.2 kilograms was born with strange marks on his forehead in resemblance of Christ’s wounds from the crown of thorns and a mark on his both hands similar to the nail-pierced hands of Jesus Christ.

The baby has a very rare skin condition causing the purple and discoloration of his skin, according to Ph.D. Merlyn Cruz, one of the country’s top microbiological experts. Cruz also admits that the case of Jejomar is amazing and a strange one.

Stigmata

“Only a handful of similar cases have been recorded throughout history, and it’s the first time on a baby, so the scientific knowledge accumulated about his pathology is very scarce. We are doing a series of tests to determine what these sores actually are and what is causing them to appear, but we have found nothing yet,” said by Cruz quoted by TNP.

Jejomar’s strange marks rapidly spread throughout the nation and there are some rumors that he was an alleged ‘miraculous baby’, causing believers to flock outside the hospital where he was born.
