Therese Weeping Blood

This is a portrait of a German mystic who lived her strange life during the horrors of the Nazi regime. Apart from symbolic blood prodigies she would manifest during religious holidays, her behavior was normal, healthy, and for a mystic quite sociable. Another unique feature of this amazing lady is that for the last thirty-five years of her life she apparently never ate, drank, or produced waste. Under 24/7 observation for two weeks she was tested by scientists and never took a drop of nourishment—except a fraction of a holy communion wafer. No one ever caught her eating or drinking anything. One of the hidden wonders of human potential.
