TL;DR Summary

The exhumed body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, who founded the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, showed no signs of decomposition four years after her burial, sparking "miracle" claims. The well-preserved body has attracted hundreds of pilgrims to the small town of Gower, Missouri. The Roman Catholic Church has documented several hundred cases of incorruptible bodies over the centuries, but it does not necessarily make a person a candidate for sainthood. Lancaster's body will remain on display at the chapel in Gower until May 29, after which it will be placed in a glass case for protection.
