Miracle in Juazeiro (2000)

Sobre o filme

Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, 1889. In a mass officiated by Padre Cícero Romão Batista, Maria de Araújo is one of the people waiting her turn to take communion. She is the protagonist of an unexplainable phenomenon. When she receives the host from the priest, the symbol of the body of Christ becomes blood. This is the first time this has ever occurred, but is not to be the only time. Regarded by many as a miracle, this event raised Padre Cícero to the status of a saint and Maria de Deus to Servant of God. Joazeiro do Norte is today one of the main centers for pilgrimage in the Brazilian Northeast. Miracle in Juazeiro is a docudrama on Padre Cícero, popularly and affectionately known as “Padim Ciço”, a person controversial even today.
