Decoding History's Prophecies

S01E01 Nostradamus, Castle Houska, The First Stigmata

Nostradamus, the famed astrologer, left behind a vast collection of obscure quatrains that many believe foretell the future. Legend has it that Houska Castle was built to seal a gateway to the underworld, a place where the poet Macha once witnessed a terrifying glimpse of what was to come. And in medieval Italy, St. Francis of Assisi reportedly became the first recorded case of stigmata, bearing wounds he believed mirrored those of Christ himself.
