From the Crypt: Incorruptibility of Saints

About this episode

The episode explores the phenomenon of incorruptibility in saints and the scientific explanations behind it.

How would you react if you saw a dead body that, after a year, still looked like the person had died just yesterday? What about after five years? A hundred? This type of preservation, called incorruptibility, can happen. And while some consider it a holy miracle, science tells a different story.
