Thousands flock to Missouri monastery to see incorrupt nun's body.

TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of people have traveled to a monastery in Missouri to view the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, the founder of the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, who died in 2019. Her body was exhumed to be moved to a monastery chapel, and was found to be almost completely intact with little signs of decay, despite being buried in a simple wooden coffin without embalming. Lancaster is likely the first Black person in the US to be found in an incorruptible state. Her body will be encased in glass in the chapel for visitors to continue to view.
