TL;DR Summary

Hundreds of people are visiting the Benedictine Monastery in Gower, Missouri, to witness the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, the foundress of The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, which is believed to be incorrupt. Lancaster's remains were exhumed last week, completely intact after being buried for four years. The Catholic Church has a long-standing tradition of more than a 100 "incorruptible saints," which signifies holiness and gives witness to the truth of Christ's resurrection. Visitors say the cultural and spiritual significance transcends religion.
