St. John Kemble's Severed Hand
St. John Kemble's Severed Hand : St.
John Kemble was a priest that was executed in 1679 and left behind his
severed hand to become a sacred
relic. He was subsequently canonized in 1970. As recently
as 15th July 1995, a priest at St. Francis Xavier's church in Hereford
called Father Christopher Jenkins found himself close to death. He
had unfortunately slipped into a deep coma as the result of a massive
stroke. Luckily for him a sacred
relic thought to possess great powers of healing lay in an oak casket
on the church altar. Father Tumelty an assistant to Father Jenkin
placed the severed hand of St. John Kemble on the sick man's brow and very
shortly Father Jenkin regained the ability to eat talk and walk. So
far no scientific explanation has been put forward to explain this event.
