Father Andrew Kiernan, a researcher of miracles on behalf of the Vatican, must discover the truth behind hairdresser Frankie Paige, who exhibits the Stigmata, the physical wounds Christ received from his crucifixion. His investigation is riddled with questions as he is torn between helping Frankie and revealing the discovery of a long-lost Gospel that would spell disaster for the future of the Catholic church.

Movie Quote(s):
- Frankie: How is your faith these days, Father? [shouting] Frankie: How is your faith these days?
-
Frankie: Hey, you know what's scarier than not believing in God? Believing in him. I mean, really believing in him. It's a fucking terrifying thought.
-
Cardinal Daniel Houseman: [while trying to strangle Frankie] I'll not let you destroy my church!
-
[Frankie is possessed by Father Alameida] Frankie: Jesus said... the Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood... and I am there, lift a stone... and you will find me. Father Andrew Kiernan: Brother Alameida, I call upon you to release this woman. Give her grace and let her not come into the ways of harm. For through Jesus Christ we have all been saved and let us not fear any ill. For Jesus is with us, and the Unity of the Holy Spirit will remain forever, and ever. God bless your soul, Brother Alameida. And go in peace.

Dr. Reston: Problems with a significant other? Frankie: Yeah. Dr. Reston: What kind of problems? Frankie: I'm not very significant.
Movie Trivia:
- Some of the footage of the subway car is from Money Train (1995). You can actually see the steel beam sticking out of the front window.
-
To anyone who's ever trained (or even fed) birds, it's obvious the doves flying into Frankie Paige's hands are eating from her palms.
-
Patricia Arquette's character is named Frankie (short for Frances), similar to the name of the saint, Francis, whom we're told by Gabriel Byrne's character was the first to receive the stigmata.
-
The body of Almeida in the coffin actually was a wax dummy made in Los Angeles and shipped to the filming location.
-
When we see inserts of the crucifixion, while Frankie as her first attack of stigmata, the arms being nailed are rubber arms with wires that make the fingers slightly move.
