Four years after being buried, the Congregation of the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, unearthed the body of its founder, the nun Wilhelmina Lancaster, an Afro-American nun, to her surprise her remains were almost intact or incorrupt (property of a corpse not to decompose).
This happened in Missouri, United States, and when the body was exhumed, despite the fact that the coffin had a crack, the corpse remained almost intact, as well as the nun’s habit, which was only covered by a layer of mold that had grown in the coffin. inside of the coffin
Sister Lancaster died at the age of 95, on May 29, 2019, on the Solemnity of the Ascension.
This incredible fact caused a great pilgrimage of the curious and faithful to the monastery, where Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster will be buried again next Monday.
