Naples - An ordinary old armchair under a worn blanket in a three-room flat in Naples draws thousands of hopeful pilgrims. Pasted all over the walls around it are birth announcements: pink for girls, blue for boys.

Childless women from all over the world flock to the "miracle" chair. There they ask Saint Mary Frances of the Five Wounds of Jesus for a miracle.

After the Mass, worshippers are led up a steep staircase and along a narrow corridor into the flat where the saint, born Anna Maria Rosa Nicoletta Gallo, spent half her life in chastity and mystical suffering until her death in 1791 at the age of 76.

As the religious name she took suggests, she was believed to carry the "stigmata" or wounds of Jesus. She was the first woman saint born in Naples, but there is no hint in her life story as to why her help is sought by childless women in particular.
go

great name for a band


maybe she still works her own particular style of magic thru that chair now.? ..i can think of no better way for a kind hearted lady to continue her work than helping another lady recieve the gift of a child

I think sexual intercourse works better for procreation then praying....that's just my opinion though.

Then why do people always bring God into it? Ya know.... "Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!"

*dirty laugh* hee hee hee hee

Maybe there are such things as Miracles....

I would have sought the chair that mystically sterilized..... before my tubal, I couldn't even look at one without getting pregnant!
