Scam or for real? My take is that this nun was embalmed when she died. So she looks “preserved” now.
This is like a small town playing up a Bigfoot sighting. Or a UFO sighting. To bring in the tourists and their dollars.
Lenin still looks in pretty good shape after almost 100 years, and he’s far from being a saint.
Hasn’t Lenin been on display for a century?
I want some of what she was drinking.

I beg to differ. Her hands look like those you'd see on an Egyptian mummy. Her face is distorted. REGARDLESS -- SHE IS A DEAD ROTTING CORPSE!!! She has left the building.
6 Her body is returning to dust, just as promised.
The Superstitious relic people
They don’t understand the biblical term “Saint”.
Why did they dig her up?
Are the dishes pilling up?
Just more Catholic crazy stuff...
These people...
“Meanwhile, Rebecca George, an anthropology tutor at the Western Carolina University, said the body’s lack of decomposition might not be that rare.
She said that coffins and clothing help to preserve bodies.
She added: “Typically, when we bury people, we don’t exhume them. We don’t get to look at them a couple years out.”
“With 100 years, there might be nothing left. But when you’ve got just a few years out, this is not unexpected.””
SICK!
Saw this in Arizona (near Tucson) Some dead priest was on display and the parishioners all filed by and rubbed his bald head.
They even had a mechanical device that partially raised him up at the waist for each viewer. We had no idea (being tourists just looking for a church on Sunday) what was happening, we just went along with the procession until we saw what it was all about. CREEPY!
NO! We DIDN’T pat his head!
She’s in better shape than Biden, but still creepy.
The Incorrupt body of a holy person is, according to many theologians, to remind us of the Resurrection of the body on the last day, and in Our Lord’s promise of Eternal life. As far as the weirdness of Catholic “obsession” with relics and incorrupt bodies, this is a culture so alien to the modern. world that it’s difficult for modern people to accept it. But the Old World didn’t look upon death or signs of death as macabre. People to this day in Eastern Europe have picnics and parties in Cemeteries.
Old World customs made it to America in many places. Ever seen pictures of dead people propped up in a chair made to look alive? Citizens of the US would hold wakes where the deceased family member(s) were put on display as if they were living, sitting in chairs, standing...babies would be propped up on blankets and liked like they were gesturing to the mourners. It’s tough to understand in the modern world, but all humans don’t express life and death in the same fashion.
