Answer
Stigmata are the visible wounds of Christ's Passion that have been replicated on the bodies of some Christian mystics and ascetics. They are said to appear spontaneously and without any physical injury. The wounds are usually in the form of the five wounds of Jesus Christ on the cross: the nail wounds in the hands and feet, and the spear wound in the side.
