The Man Who Could Fly: St. Joseph of Copertino and the Mystery of Levitation

St.

Joseph of Copertino began having mystical visions at the age of seven, but it was not until he began practicing his faith as a Franciscan priest that he realized the full potential of his mind’’s power over his body—he was able to levitate.

Throughout his priesthood St.

Joseph became famous for frequent levitations that were observed on hundreds of occasions and by thousands of witnesses, including many skeptics.
