Some say it's a sign of holiness in Catholicism, while others say the lack of decomposition may not be as rare as people think.
Hundreds of people flocked to a small town in Missouri this week and last to see a nun whose body has barely decomposed since 2019.
When they exhumed Lancaster, they were told to expect only bones, since she had been buried in a simple wooden coffin without any embalming four years ago. "It was pretty amazing," said Samuel Dawson, who is Catholic and visited from Kansas City with his son last week."It was very peaceful. Just very reverent."
"Incorruptibility has been verified in the past, but it is very rare. There is a well-established process to pursue the cause for sainthood, but that has not been initiated in this case yet," the diocese added.
