As far as I know, Christ's wounds did not have a name, but when they mysteriously appear on a person's body, they are called stigmata. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14294b.htm Jul 24 02, 6:53 PM

Usually the wounds on stigmata sufferers have not been consistent but have varied depending on the images of Christ that the victims were most familiar with. Apr 10 04, 8:42 AM
