Basilica of fmo where he served over the next few centuries they would open up his tomb several times to examine his remains get this each time his body was found completely intact like he had just dropped dead moments ago his skin muscles internal organs everything was still there and as fresh as the day he kicked the bucket over 600 years prior no signs of decomposition or Decay at all pretty wild right observers said when they'd examine him his body was described as being flexible and soft like they could move his arms and toes and everything
was still limber and pliable his blood vessels were full and his flesh was Rosy no way was this body hundreds of years old based on appearance alone but it gets even crazyer when they last opened his tomb in 1881 over 550 years after his death his tongue was observed to still be read like normal tissue how is any of that even possible for reference most normal corpses are skeletons after just a decade or two buried underground this guy looks as good as new after over 600 years in a tomb there's no way science can explain
that one the Catholic Church says it's a testament to his profound Holiness in life do you think St Nicholas worked some pretty powerful postumus magic to keep his meat suit fresh like that for so long wrong incorrupt bodies are just one of those unexplainable Supernatural elements of the faith that makes me keep coming back you got to come check out St Nicholas's preserved body for yourself next time you're in Italy it's a mustsee miracle number two Blessed Pope Pas 9 so after hearing about St Nicholas of talentino and other Saints keeping their body fresh for
centuries are you still curious about other Incorruptible corpses in the church learning about two more would be nice don't you think one of the most well-known is Blessed Pope Pas 9 he lived from 1792 to 1878 served as the bishop of Rome from 1846 until his death and was one of the longest reigning popes in history at over 30 years his preserved remains are on display underneath St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican for a body that's been kaput since 1878 he's holding up pretty well when pias 9 passed away he was originally buried in the
gratos below St Peters but in 188 81 they did some restoration work down there and took the opportunity to examine his body again get this only 3 years after kicking it his body was found completely intact and flexible his skin was still there as were his muscles organs and internal tissue his legs and arms could still be moved around like a living person apparently when they were transferring him to his new Tomb site there were even eyewitness reports of liquid dripping from his nose when they moved him how grossly fascinating is that the Vatican considers
Pious 9's preserved condition a sign of his deep Devotion to God in life do you think he just didn't want to fully decompose and leave this Mortal plane behind quite yet Jokes Aside it really is incredible that after over 140 years encased in a sealed tomb his body is still looking remarkably fresh-faced for a nonagenarian Pope unlike a lot of historical figures from back in the day who are only bones now this holy head honcho is still largely intact you should make a trip to the Vatican someday and see him for yourself even after a
century and a half he's still defying all logic and keeping his papal corpse chilling incorruptibility is just too wild number one St charbel mlof St charbel Mouf from Lebanon lived in the 19th century and was a marinite Catholic priest known for his deep prayer life and Holiness unfortunately he died relatively young at age 50 3 in 1898 from a stroke but when they examined his remains just over 2 years later in May 190 his body was found to be completely incorrupt Witnesses said when they opened up his wooden coffin his body was described as being
Supple with no signs of decomposition at all his skin had yellowed a bit but apparently there was no real damage and his organs were reportedly still intact inside of him how Wild is that it really really makes you wonder what kind of mysterious Supernatural Mojo these Sanctified Saints must have had to defy nature like that after examining him they dressed father charbel in fresh monastic robes and inomed him permanently in a marble sarcophagus and to this day over 120 years later multiple examinations have shown that his body is still in the same incorrupt state as
first witnessed in 190 when his tomb was last opened in 1950 and again in 2020 he was found completely preserved practically fresh as the day he died if not for some yellowing of the skin got to respect a holy man who refuses to commit fully to the grave no matter how much time passes sadly you can't see charbel's body yourself because he permanently rests in his tomb in St Maron Basilica in Lebanon but his Incorruptible remains are a testament to the profound and enduring Holiness of this man of prayer when death can't keep you down
you know you must have had some serious Supernatural sway in life too pretty crazy stuff from these Incorruptible Saints right thank you for watching this video see you in the next one
