The Catholic Church teaches that when bread and wine are consecrated at Mass, they are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ. Typically, they retain the appearance of bread and wine. The Eucharistic Miracles of the World Exhibit focuses on extraordinary historical instances when bread and wine have been physically changed into human flesh and blood in a manner that scientists have not been able to explain.
