The Eucharistic Miracle of Erding, Germany happened on Holy Thursday in 1417. Two peasants worked the same job. One was more prosperous than the other.
The poorer peasant worked extra hours to try to improve his financial situation.
However, he remained poor. He asked his coworker how he managed to be so successful.
The more prosperous worker explained that he relied on faith. He even kept Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in a special place in his home.
The poor peasant wrongly believed that the Eucharistic Host was a good luck charm.
On Holy Thursday, he went to Mass. Upon receiving Communion, he hid the Host in his clothes and left the church.
On his walk home, he realized that what he had done was sinful.
He immediately turned to take the Host back to the church.
As he pulled the Eucharist from his pocket, it slipped from his hands and flew into the air. He tried to catch it to no avail. Deeply afraid, he informed the priest and brought him to the spot where the Host escaped.
The priest found the Host on the ground emanating a bright light.
When the priest went to pick it up, it flew into the air. He could not catch it.
The bishop was summoned and he also witnessed the phenomenon.
