A young farmer from Calanda, Aragon (1617-1647), whose right leg was reportedly amputated in 1637 after a cart accident and who begged for two and a half years in Zaragoza before reporting, on the night of 29 March 1640, that the leg had been restored — the case the Catholic Church investigated and declared miraculous as the Miracle of Calanda.

- Miracle of Calanda29 March 1640
Miguel Juan Pellicer reported Miracle of Calanda — Pellicer and his family gave the first testimony that his amputated leg was found restored on the night of 29 March 1640, in his parents' home in Calanda. That testimony, and the trial it triggered, are well documented; the underlying claim that his leg was amputated in the first place is not independently confirmed outside that testimony.
