TL;DR Summary

Hundreds of people have visited a small town in Missouri to see the body of a Black nun, Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, whose body has barely decomposed since her death in 2019. Lancaster's body was exhumed in April and was found to be intact and perfectly preserved. The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, will place her body in a glass shrine in their church on Monday. While some see it as a sign of holiness, others say the lack of decomposition may not be as rare as people think.
