the incorruptable saints [View all]

we had a thread yesterday about st Theresa, in which I realized that three saints by that name are incorruptible. st Theresa of lissoux ("the little flower&quot , my grandmother's favorite, did not even make this list

https://www.roman-catholic-saints.com/incorruptible-saints.html

in fact, this miracle(?) phenomenon(?) while far from common, there are more incorruptables than I had thought possible.

st Cecelia, a 2nd century roman martyr, appears to be rxtant after all these years.

an English king (Edward the confessor) is incorruptible.

st veronica was finally immersed in a flood, and reduced to bones, except for her heart which remains incorruptible.

has anyone seen one of these miracles? are all the incorruptables catholic or do other cultures produce examples. is this truly a miracle or can science explain?
