Last year, a well-preserved saint's body, known as St. Teresa of Avila, was found miraculously intact (incorrupt) in Spain. This month, her incredible remains were unveiled for the public in Alba de Tormes, causing quite the stir among Catholics.
Captivating images show devotees reacting to the sight, covering their mouths, shedding tears, and kneeling in prayer. The display was a part of the saint's public veneration opening ceremony.
Dressed in a nun's habit, St. Teresa's body, though mostly skeletal, showed remarkable preservation in some areas, such as her foot. As experts reveal, medical issues plagued this female saint in her latter years, including debilitating heel spurs that made walking almost impossible for her.
In the 1914, church officials first opened St. Teresa's tomb, reporting that she appeared unchanged since that time. According to Fr. Marco Chiesa, her face and foot displayed the same condition, lacking color but remaining remarkably well-preserved, especially in the middle of her face.
Experts confirm that St. Teresa's preserved condition is due to her tomb's dry environment. Moisture typically encourages decomposition but was successfully blocked in her tomb, keeping her remains in pristine condition for over four hundred years. Italian anthropology professor Luigi Capasso described the preservation as "perfectly preserved," with intact skin, subcutaneous tissues, and muscles.
St. Teresa's hair, though covered by her headdress, was also reportedly preserved, along with her right eyelid and dark iris, as well as nasal tissue. Church officials plan to further study this remarkable find, hoping to uncover more secrets hidden within her storied legacy.
