The Diocese of Lincoln has concluded that an incident in which a relic of St Gemma Galgani appeared to move on its own at a university parish earlier this week was not a supernatural phenomenon.
The apparent movement of the relic, displayed in a shadowbox at St Thomas Aquinas Church on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, drew widespread attention after videos circulated online. The footage appeared to show the relic of St Gemma vibrating and shifting, while other nearby relics in the reliquary remained still.
