their existence baffles scientists. While the preserved remains of
mummies are generally found in states of rigor mortis-like
petrifaction, incorruptible corpses are pretty pliable. Their skin is
supple, even years after their deaths. They appear, for all intents and
purposes, to be sleeping or only recently dead. What’s more, these
corpses don’t show signs of having been embalmed. And the local
conditions don’t appear to have had a preservative effect on them.
While they remained in a perfect state of composition, other corpses
interred nearby were degenerating like normal [More pics and videos]

That's pretty interesting stuff there. I had read the verse regarding incorruptible bodies but had never known there were examples of such.
ReplyDeleteThere are four (that I remember) former Popes in St. Peter's that are like this. My daughter and I were there this summer. It's quite a shock to realize that you are looking at someone that looks like they are just asleep, but has actually been dead for hundreds of years.
