Many years ago I watched some Leonard Nimoy mysteries show that featured Saint Bernadette in her glass casket, and since then I have become very interested in this topic
Last week I became aware of the recent exhumation of a Russian Orthodox bishop here in the U.S. whose body, it is said, is incorrupt, and this renewed my interest. I wonder if others are interested as well.
From Wiki:
Incorruptibility is a Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox belief that Divine intervention allows some human bodies (specifically saints and beati) to avoid the normal process of decomposition decomposition after death as a sign of their holiness. Bodies that undergo little or no decomposition, or delayed decomposition, are sometimes referred to as incorrupt or incorruptible. Incorruptibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
