The Incorruptible
Saint Bernadette Soubirous...

January 7, 1844 - April 16, 1879

The Visionary of Lourdes...

Her body was exhumed in September 1909, after over 30 years buried,
and was found to be incorrupt. This is how she looks today.
You can see her in the Chapel of Saint Bernadette in Nevers, France.

There are many other incorruptible Saints which can be seen today.
You can read about some of them in a book titled,
'The Incorruptibles' by Joan Carroll Cruz.

If their bodies were incorruptable, they would still be alive. How come we don’t have any thousand year-old saints? There sure would be a lot more believers.

There are many breathtaking, unexplainable miracles ..

I didn't know that paraffin was a miraculous substance.

We have been to Nevers and have seen for ourselves this stunning sight.
