The nation of Italy is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the death of their beloved Padre Pio. Just recently his exhumed body was prepared for display in an air-tight display. Already hundreds of thousands have secured tickets to view this stigmatist's body -- about 7200 passing by the holy man's remains. Check the link to Whispers in the Loggia for a read about the event and a little history of the saint.
