"Unexplained Preservation: Nun's Body Defies Decay in Kansas City Church"

The Abbey of Our Lady of Ephesus in Kansas City, Missouri, is allowing visitors to see the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, a nun who died four years ago and has been found to be almost perfectly preserved. The abbey believes that Sister Lancaster might be an "incorruptible," a term used to describe bodies that do not decompose entirely after death. If confirmed, she would be the first Black and American "incorruptible." The abbey plans to inquire about the possibility of canonizing Sister Lancaster as a saint in the future.

Exhumed Missouri nun's body found incorrupt, sparks pilgrimage frenzy.

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.
