Thousands Flock to Rural Missouri to Witness Incorruptible Nun's Body.
TL;DR
Hundreds of people have traveled to a rural Missouri monastery to view the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, who died at age 95 in 2019. Lancaster's body was exhumed and found to be "incorrupt," meaning it showed no signs of decay, even though it had not been embalmed and was in a wooden coffin. The discovery has captured the attention of some members of the church and prompted an investigation. The body will be laid out in the sisters' chapel until May 29, when it will be encased in glass near the altar of St. Joseph in the chapel to welcome devotees.
