The Archdiocese said 5,000 came from as far away as New Hampshire and Rhode Island to seek the blessing of a saint known for his piety and famous for his stigmata – mystical marks in his palms, feet and side that resembled the nail and spear wounds Jesus suffered when he was crucified.
Jimbo Kuu alisema 5,000 alikuja kutoka mbali mbali kama New Hampshire na Rhode Island kutafuta baraka ya mtakatifu sana kwa uchamungu wake na maarufu kwa stigmata wake – alama ya fumbo katika mikono yake, miguu na upande ambayo inafanana msumari na mkuki majeraha Yesu aliteseka wakati alisulubiwa.
