Bettbrunn Eucharistic miracle tradition and postwar revival

Record summary

Bettbrunn was associated with a medieval Eucharistic host legend involving a consecrated wafer and a carved wooden image, and the tradition continued to appear in Catholic devotional narratives during the postwar period. It offers a comparison between a claimed sacred artefact, local cult memory, church presentation and modern historical criticism. The underlying episode is medieval rather than a 1949–1969 event; the relevant scope is its modern retelling and reception. Dating, documentary continuity and the status of the object should be checked in ecclesiastical and local historical sources.
