A church in Mayo has gone viral after some people claimed a miracle occurred during Sunday mass over the weekend.
And Mayo GAA fans are hoping it could lead to their county final getting their hands on the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time in 71 years.
St. Joseph’s Church in Aghamore, near Knock, was the site of the bizarre incident that has thousands of people talking online.
According to the viral Facebook post that features an image, the minister who was saying mass in the local church dropped a piece of Communion bread on the floor.
After picking it up, he placed it in a glass of water to let it dissolve, and when he came back, it was covered in a blood-like substance.
He allegedly added more water and left it again, coming back to see that it had “taken on the appearance of bloody flesh.”
Mayo supporters are now hoping that the 'miracle' is a sign that they will finally win the All-Ireland this summer.
One said: "Mayos year for the All-Ireland."
Another commented: "Let me guess....its going to turn a bit green as well and ....ta da ! ....Mayo for Sam."
Someone else posted: "Definitely MAYO FOR SAM."
The viral post on the incident reads: “A Eucharistic Minister accidentally dropped a Consecrated Host to the floor whilst administering Holy Communion.
“The Indian Parish Priest put it into a small bowl of water to allow it to dissolve. Upon checking it sometime later he discovered the water was blood coloured.
“He added some more water and then later saw that the Host had taken on the appearance of bloody flesh tissue.”
The story has seen many flock to give their opinion on the event that took place with some seeing it as a sign from Jesus.
St. Joseph’s Church have yet to respond to any enquries, and have not publicly confirmed the story.
The Westerners will need all the help they can get as they come up against a Kerry side in a quarter-final clash this weekend who beat them by 15 points in this year's league final.
Victory over the Kingdom would see Mayo advance to a semi-final against the winners of Dublin v Cork.
