    “The first accepted miracle involved the complete healing of a nun from Bakhita’s own congregation. The nun, while still young, experienced a severe disintegration of her knees, known as arthritic synovitis. From 1939 onward, she suffered terribly and was bedridden. In 1948, as she was due for surgery, she prayed a nine-day novena to Bakhita. The night before her operation, she awoke with a clear voice saying to her, “Get up, wake up, get up and walk!” The nun obeyed and started walking around the room, something she hadn’t done in years. The doctors x-rayed her and found no trace of the disease.

    “The second approved miracle involved the total healing of a woman from Brazil, Eva de Costa, who was afflicted with diabetic ulcers in her legs. She prayed, “Bakhita, you who suffered so much, please help me, heal my legs!” Her ulcers and pain disappeared at that very moment.” (Source: https://owlcation.com/humanities/St-Josephine-Bakhitas-Journey-to-the-Light)

    She was given the name “Bakhita” by her captors. It means fortunate in Arabic.

    Do only Catholics have Saints?
