Marthe Robin, the stigmatic who did not eat
From 1930 until her death in 1981, the bedridden Marthe Robin of Châteauneuf-de-Galaure was said to bear the stigmata, relive the Passion each Friday and take no food but the Eucharist.
1930 CE · 45.23, 4.96 · status: disputed
The account
Tens of thousands visited her; she founded the Foyers de Charité. She was declared Venerable in 2014.
The sceptical view
A 2020 investigation by Conrad De Meester argued she plagiarised mystical texts, and the fast was never checked under controlled conditions.
