The Catholic Church investigated and approved the miracle, and the Church of St. Stephen, where the event occurred, was renamed the Church of the Holy Miracle. St. Francis Xavier visited the Church of the Holy Miracle before setting off for missionary work in India, and it remains one of Portugal's most-visited pilgrimage sites. <Learn more: Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem
