	092 of 152. The Cathedral of Orvieto is a large 14th-century Roman Catholic cathedral. The building was constructed to commemorate and provide a suitable home for the Corporal of Bolsena, a miracle which is said to have occurred in 1263 in the nearby town of Bolsena, when a traveling priest who had doubts about the truth of the change from bread and wine to the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist found that his Host was bleeding so much that it stained the altar cloth. The cloth is now stored in the Chapel of the Corporal inside the cathedral.
