Had you imagined yourself lying in a coffin for hundreds of years, dead and unmoved yet incorruptible? Or imagined the other way around, decayed slowly into dust?
Most of you may have thought the latter, and questioned the former but honestly speaking it could be possible. You may had read or heard news of incorruptible bodies around the globe. These news were quite questionable. We all knew since grade school that when a human die, the body decomposed and turn to dust but believe it or not they were cases reported of incorruptible bodies of saints proving they were real.
Examples of incorruptible saints were Saint Bernadette Soubirous wherein she was dissected and was found out that her organs were still soft and malleable [source: Fortean Times]. She was placed on display in a reliquary, where she remains today, at the convent of St. Gildard at Nevers, France." Another example was Saint Veronica Giuliani. After her death the figure of the cross was found impressed upon her heart. Her body remains incorrupt at the Monaster of St. Veronica Giuliani in Italy. Saint Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney's body was exhumed and found incorrupt in 1904. His body was on display above the main altar in the Basilica of Arts in France. On September 23, 1850 the coffin of Saint Clare of Assisi was unearthed and opened, the flesh and clothing of the saint had been reduced to dust, but the skeleton was in the perfect state of preservation. Numerous accounts of saint had been recorded with similar cases.
Science had a hard time in figuring out the possible reasons behind the incorruptible corpses. There were explanations like some bodies of these saints were not expose to oxygen but proven wrong when it was figured out they were buried on oxygen-free environment.
