The Unexplained Phenomenon of the Intact Nun's Body in Missouri Attracts Crowds.

The body of a nun who died four years ago in Missouri has not decomposed for the most part, attracting thousands of visitors to the small town of Gower. Sr. Wilhelmina, the foundress of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, was exhumed recently and found to be in a remarkably preserved condition. Her body will be reinterred in the monastery's church on May 29 and will be encased in glass. The Catholic Church recognizes "incorruptibility" as a phenomenon where some people do not decompose as expected after death. The diocese is working to establish a thorough process for understanding the nature of the condition of Sr. Wilhelmina's remains.
