What happens to all the Saints and “Holy” people that has stigmata on their hands?

Nothing happens.

If you and everyone around you grew up seeing, imagining, and meditating on the wounds in Christ's palm, would it not be fitting for God to condescend to you in that respect and grant you something that, while historically inaccurate, was an unmistakably clear sign to you and your contemporaries?

Generally speaking, signs have to be in the language of the readers or they aren't terribly useful.

I guess I would prefer God reveal the TRUTH to me if he is going to manifest a substantial revelation through me.

I am a little old to believe in Santa.

That's why it's interesting!

Ultimately, there is no definitive answer and so...
