Sant Dubte of Ivorra

Historical milestone · Ivorra, Segarra, Lleida

Image of Ivorra, not of the place itself.

Tradition places around 1010, in the original Romanesque church of Santa Maria dels afores in Ivorra, a eucharistic episode: the priest Bernat Oliver, doubting the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, saw blood flow from a chalice that contained only wine. A year later, San Ermengol of Urgel travelled to Rome, where Pope Sergius IV confirmed the truth of the miracle with a bull, kept the chalice and gave several relics in exchange. The event, documented since 1426, gave rise to the sanctuary of the Sant Dubte, a place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages. The church of Ivorra preserved a Gothic altarpiece from 1480 depicting scenes of the miracle, moved in 1917 to the Diocesan Museum of Solsona, which in 2016 dedicated an exhibition to the millennium of the Sant Dubte.
