The Macao Catholic Culture Association (ACCM) is holding an exhibition about “eucharistic miracles” from around the world.
According to Wikipedia, Eucharist (“Thanksgiving” in Greek) refers to “Holy Communion or the Body and Blood of Christ, which is consumed during the Catholic Mass or Eucharistic Celebration.”
The association points out in a recent statement that eucharistic miracles have been among the most studied topics by scholars and scientists worldwide, adding that “Catholics are united by faith in the real presence of the Lord Jesus in the Eucharist”. The statement also said that the Catholic Church “firmly believes” that there is no conflict between science and faith.
The exhibition, the statement underlines, features the eucharistic miracles that “have taken place over the centuries in different countries” that the Church recognises. According to the statement, the exhibition also explores the relations and influences between the “Catholic cultures and contemporary science, presenting the realities which human science cannot prove and are beyond the reach of scientific research”.
The association said in the statement that in line with the government’s COVID-19 pandemic prevention measures, disinfection will be reinforced and conducted at the venue. Moreover, visitors must wear a facemask, undergo a temperature check, scan the venue QR code and present a valid green Macau Health Code.
The exhibition is taking place at 5 Rua Formosa and is open daily except Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until September 30.
