Astonishing Preservation of Catholic Saint’s Remains Stuns Experts
Sometimes the mysterious truly does happen in our world.
Recently, it was discovered that St. Teresa of Avila’s body was still in tact when her tomb was opened for research in Spain last month.
Fox News reported that the Catholic saint, who died in 1582, still appears to be the same as when she passed away.

Previously, the tomb was opened back in 1914. The group of Discalced Carmelite nuns, priests and monks made the decision to open it back up to “study the relics of St. Teresa’s heart, hand and arm,” according to Fox News.
Catholic News Agency reported how the opening of St. Teresa’s tomb was compared to the 1914 opening of the coffin.
“The parts uncovered, which are the face and the foot, are the same as they were in 1914,” Father Marco Chiesa said. “There is no color, there is no skin color, because the skin is mummified, but you can see it, especially the middle of the face…the expert doctors can see Teresa’s face almost clearly.”
This comes after last year’s “Missouri Miracle,” where experts found a nun’s body from 2019 that had not decomposed. According to Fox, the nun, Whilhelmina, was not embalmed at the time of her death. Her wooden coffin was also unsealed as well.
These unusual discoveries are certainly a strange occurrence most of us never would have expected to see happen.
