Skin marking

In some cases, the wounds of stigmatics were shaped like letters and symbolic signs.

A bloody cross appeared on the forehead of the French prioress, Sister Jeanne des Anges (1602-1665), and the names of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were written in blood on her left hand. Sister Jeanne was later displayed as a "walking relic" to large crowds in Paris.

On the side of Maria-Julia Jahenna (1850-1941) a bleeding inscription resembling a cross, a rose and the words "O Crux Ave" (Glory to You, O Cross) appeared on December 7, 1875.This is what was hidden in the heart of Saint Clare of Montefalco (Acta Sanctorum, vol. 111, public domain)
