The study of the Blood of Saint Januarius (BSJ) involves three experiments: two spectroscopic analyses
(in 1902 and 1989) and an attempt to produce a compound similar to BSJ (in 1991). The first two
experiments do not provide a definitive answer, while the third produced a compound with some
characteristics similar to BSJ (including liquefaction). The Church does not permit the use of a Blood
sample from the ampoules. Therefore, we propose: i) observing BSJ's behavior on days other than the
canonical ones, and ii) comparing the spectroscopic analyses of 1902 and 1989 with the same analysis
that CICAP members will do using their sample.
