Heals in front of the Holy Shroud, 11 year old girl gets up from the wheelchair

Heals before the Holy Shroud. In 1954, 11-year-old Josie Woollam was dying in hospital from severe osteomyelitis, a disease affecting her hips and legs. The doctor told his mother there was no hope. However, the child had heard of a certain Leonard Cheshire, who gave lectures on the Shroud near his hometown in England.

The mother of Josie sent a letter to Cheshire, who replied by sending a photo of the Shroud to the child. Josie, simply holding the photograph in her hand, experienced a decrease in pain in her bones, to the point that two weeks later she was released from the hospital. As the pain continued, the little girl continued to see the photo in hopes of fully recovering.

Cheshire, impressed by Josie's faith, he asked King Umberto II for permission to show the Shroud to the child. The king agreed and gave permission to open and unroll the cloth. The little girl in the wheelchair held the Shroud in her arms and at that moment she was healed.
