Just to touch real quick on this, I have tried to find evidence of this taking place in the Bible, and have failed to do so. I have read of stories about this and most to almost all wounds recorded were found to be self inflicted.
The first case to have been recorded was Saint Francis of Assisi in 1224. As of 1894, 321 cases had been recorded. Probably more since then but could not find any more info on the subject and it’s history.
I do know that some view this not as a biblical situation but rather a demonic one. Some believe that when you have been possessed that a demon has been known to cause Stigmata for one of these two reasons. One to fool the surrounding people into believe that the entity inside the person is not that of a demon but that of a heavenly being. Or reason two, it is the demons way of mocking your beliefs.
I have not seen anything like this, no real pictures that I know of, so only one can assume that stigmata does not exist. Those who do believe that is does and that it is a religious thing not demonic, believe that it is the first step to saint hood? My self though? I would impose the question of why would God would want you to go though that?
