Padre Pio was a deeply religious man who experienced a number of extraordinary things during his lifetime. It is said that as a novice of the Capuchin Order, he was subject to attacks by the Devil himself! On one occasion Satan appeared to the young man as an enormous black dog with red eyes. In addition to having the Stigmata on his body for half a century, Padre Pio performed a number of acts of healing for pilgrims from around the world.
