Etoe L/"östöe relic of the Eucharistic mira- cle can be venerated even today in Spain, But it is kept in the Royal Monastery in El Escorial, but the miracle was verified in Holland. Some Protestant mercenaries en- tered into the Catholic church in Gorkum and plundered it, As a sign of insult, one of the mercena- ries trampled a consecrated Host with a spiked boot, which broke it into three pieces, Immediately from these piercings, it began to drip live Blood and in the Hosts formed themselves like three small wounds in the shape of a hoop in El Escorial (near Madrid). It was desecra- ted in Gorkum (in Holland) in 1572 by some fol- lowers of Ulrich Zwingli (the so-called "Geux de la Mer") from the Money of the Prince of Orange.

One of the prof aners, penitent and upset by the sight, warned the Canon Jean van der Delft who succeeded in making the Hosts safe. The relic, after having passed through various the miracle happened in Holland Gothic temple designed dangers, was given to King Philip II of Spain in 1594, who then placed it under the care of the Monastery of San Lorenzo in El Escorial.

Above the altar where the miraculous Hosts are preser- ved, the Italian artist, Filippo Filippini made four bas-reliefs in marble and bronze that represents the phenomenal events. The painting by Claudio Coello (1621-1693) represents the inauguration of the magnificent tabernacle, commissioned by King Carlos II specifically to contain the precious relic. Each year in El Escorial, on September 29 and October 28, there are solemn festivities in re- membrance of the miracle, in which there are mo- ments where the Precious Host, known by the name of "Sagrada Forma", is exposed and carried in procession.
