The recently exhumed body of a Missouri nun is attracting the influx of hundreds of pilgrims after the corpse was remarkably discovered intact after four years with no signs of decomposition.
Some have described the revelation of the preserved remains of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster as a “miracle in Missouri.”
Last week — four years after Lancaster’s death — the Benedictine Sisters decided to unearth Lancaster’s body to move her remains under the altar in their convent’s chapel as is customary for founders, according to the Catholic News Agency.
The sisters were reportedly stunned when they opened the coffin, which even had a crack down the middle.
“We were told by cemetery personnel to expect just bones in the conditions, as Sister Wilhelmina was buried without embalming and in a simple wood coffin,” one nun, who was not identified, told Newsweek.
The sister told the news outlet that when Mother Abbess Cecilia peered through the crack in the coffin, “she saw a totally intact foot with the sock on, looking just like it did when we had buried her.”
