"Unexplained Preservation: Nun's Body Draws Thousands to Missouri"
TL;DR
Thousands of people visited a small Missouri town to see the exhumed body of a nun who has barely decomposed since she died in 2019. Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, 95, was exhumed in April, nearly four years after her death, and her body is set to be placed in a glass shrine in the church on Monday. The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph said it's being investigated as a possible case of incorruptibility, which under Catholic tradition indicates a divine intervention that stops or slows decomposition as a sign of holiness.
