I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an evangelist's stigmata' is the definition.
'marks' can be an answer for 'stigmata' ('mark' can be a synonym of 'stigma'). I'm not sure about the 'an evangelist's' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marks that I've seen before include "Stains" , "Former German currency" , "Grades assigned to school work" , "Visible signs" , "Goals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
