I would say yes. There is significance to it, although, I'm not learned enough in that subject to give a more satisfactory or thorough answer.

Well, Jews and Muslims can get stigmata, but they probably wouldn't be Jews or Muslims after that.
God works in mysterious ways, if the way He gets them to come to Christianity is by inflicting wounds, then so be it...
also, most stigmata cases aren't just "bleeding points" they're gaping wounds.

It could mean that this person suffers from a mental illness and the wounds are self-inflicted. I don't know of any significance about the appearance of stigmata, other than i'ts gotta hurt.

I don't hold a lot of credit in the " stigmata ". If I believe I have a cold, then I will develop the symptoms. One time, I even got my foot to bleed to get out of working over night. It may be a sign of faith, but not necessarily divine action.
best wishes.

yes, there is high reverence. The stigmata means touched by God. And all the real Stigmata recievers have done great miracles afterwards.

Never heard of it . .. There are only two people recognized as Saints that i am aware of who had confirmed Stigmata . .. Saint Francis of Assissi and Saint Padre Pio . .. I think Padre Pio has been cannonized i'll have to check . . . He certainly had the Stigmata . ..
Why would JESUS gift a person with Stigmata if they didn't believe in HIM . .. JESUS knows all HIS sheep by name . .. but if they not of JESUS why would JESUS even know them?
LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

Christ probably wants them if stigmats acctually occur. I have never experienced one or know of anyone who has.

Either way it has no significance. It is most likely a fraud.
