Hundreds of people flocked to a small town in Missouri this week and last to see a Black nun whose body has barely decomposed since 2019. Some say it’s a sign of holiness in Catholicism, while others say the lack of decomposition may not be as rare as people think.
Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster was exhumed in April, according to a statement from the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, in Gower, Missouri.
The nuns had been preparing for the addition of a St. Joseph shrine, and that involved “the reinterment of the remains of our beloved foundress, Sister Wilhelmina,” the statement said.
When they exhumed Lancaster, they were told to expect only bones, since she had been buried in a simple wooden coffin without any embalming four years ago.
Instead, they discovered an intact body and “a perfectly preserved religious habit," the statement said. The nuns hadn’t meant to publicize the discovery, but someone posted a private email publicly and “the news began to spread like wildfire.”
Volunteers and local law enforcement have helped to manage the crowds in the town of roughly 1,800 people, as people have visited from all over the country to see and touch Lancaster’s body.
“It was pretty amazing,” said Samuel Dawson, who is Catholic and visited from Kansas City with his son last week. “It was very peaceful. Just very reverent.”
Dawson said there were a few hundred people when he visited and that he saw many out-of-state cars.
Could be true. A Mc Donald hamburger can stay for years without growing molds because it is laden with Sodium based preservatives. We eat sh!t and wonder why there are som many cancers.
Very poor reasoning, if anything we’d be dead by now. It’s because of the moisture/water in the burger. Along with preservatives the burgers are small and thin, giving it a very high ratio of surface area to volume. It is cooked well-done on a very hot griddle. These factors contribute to rapid moisture loss, resulting in a burger that dries out long before it can start to rot. Example is billtong/beef jerky. Thats just a wax statue which look very realistic these days. Im certain nobody could touch it and if there was any suspision of it being fake they’d say its not a fresh body…
Hide that corpse before necrophiliac niggas @slevyn@PHARMACY@sludgist@Agwambo@magreb sees it. Kindly! @slevyn has already been spotted buying vega100 while Magreb has rushed to Busia town to buy 10kgs of Mukhombero!
I support your theory. I have also discovered that if you unpack bread and leave it in a dry place, it loses moisture faster than it starts to be moldy. It can remain in that state for many years
