Francis' sons saw the body of their blessed father adorned with the stigmata of Christ, in the middle, namely, of his hands and feet; not indeed the holes made by nails, but the nails themselves formed out of his flesh, indeed imbedded in the same flesh, and retaining the blackness of iron; and his right side was red with blood.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Second Life - 217a
