Additional pilgrim story shorts
Just outside the small town of Abadiania, Brazil,
one of the most unusual people in the world is about
to see a group of strangers dressed in white. He
is known to westerners as John of God. They call
him a spiritual medium, trance surgeon, healer and
miracle worker. What he does and how he does it
defies conventional logic.
For
over 40 years, John of God has received visitors
as a doctor might receive patients. Even though
he is not a doctor and has no formal schooling beyond
the fourth grade, he has performed countless physical
operations – for free. He uses no anesthesia
and patients report little pain. He scraps eyes,
inserts surgical clamps up noses and makes incisions
with simple instruments – all while he is
supposedly taken over by spirits. There is very
little bleeding, few reports of infections and numerous
reports of improved health – both spiritually
and physically.
