Thousands of worshipers have started flocking to a Catholic nun to witness her body after it was recovered from her Missouri grave without any signs of decay despite being buried since 2019.

Faithful Catholics have been pictured and filmed in a long queue rushing to Gower - about 40 miles north of Kansas City - to see the unblemished body of sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, who died in May 2019 at the age of 95, with some calling it a miraculous sign of sainthood.

The abbey which previously would receive no more than 20 visitors per day is now seeing about 1,000 visitors on a daily basis, according to Ashlie Hand, a spokesperson with the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.

'As of Tuesday, they were seeing about 1,000 visitors a day. I think now, it's probably well above that. The expectation is the crowd will grow over the holiday weekend,' Hand said to Fox4.
Hand said it's possible the monastery would receive up to 20,000 visitors over the weekend.


Crowds have grown to the point that police have added a mobile command center, and more land has been cleared to park cars. The street outside the monastery, 316th Street, also became a one-way thoroughfare on Saturday, carrying cars west to east, according to Fox 4.
Lancaster's body has been laid out for public viewing with visitors allowed to touch her body and pray. Visiting hours run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

After May 29, visitors will still be able to see the nun and visit the site, but they will no longer be able to touch her body as it will be encased in glass.

Lancaster's body glass encasement will be placed near the altar to ‘welcome her growing number of devotees.’
Photos taken at the scene and shared online, show visitors gently touching Lancaster's hands, which along with her face, are covered in wax. The nun's face and hands were then covered with a wax mask after she was found intact.

A sign next to the body, which is surrounded by flowers, reads: 'Please be gentle when touching sister's body, especially her feet.'
The church officials said they are investigating Lancaster's case, as incorruptibility can be a sign of sainthood, although it is not definite.



Bishop James Johnston of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph released a statement on May 22 noting the need 'to protect the integrity of the mortal remains of Sister Wilhelmina to allow for a thorough investigation,' according to Newsweek.

The church hasn't declared the case to be miraculous, but the bishop 'is working to establish a thorough process for understanding the nature of the condition of Sister Wilhelmina's remains,' the statement said.

'Incorruptibility has been verified in the past, but it is very rare. There is a well-established process to pursue the cause for sainthood, but that has not been initiated in this case yet.'
Lancaster's body was buried outside of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles Monastery, and was dug up to be placed in a better tomb inside the chapel.

At the time of Lancaster's death, the nun's body was not embalmed before her burial and her casket was made of simple wood without an exterior layer. Workers expected to uncover boned but instead found a perfectly intact corpse.

After seeing Lancaster's intact body, the convent's Abbess, Mother Cecilia, described the actions the nuns had taken, according to Newsweek.
You can't Google, 'What do you do with an incorrupt body?'' she said, 'so we started with the basics, just cleaning her with hot water, because clinging to her face was basically a mask of thick mold.'


'Bishop Johnston invites all the Faithful to continue praying during this time of investigation for God's will in the lives of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles; for all women religious; and all the baptized in our common vocation to holiness, with hope and trust in the Lord.'

Ok

Make Una dey willfully accept marketing scam for broad daylight. This waxed body. Why did they dig her up if it wasn't planned right from the beginning.

Total Rubbish and outright nonsense

Religious madness. Those that worship God must worship Him in Spirit and truth John 4;24. You need not go to anywhere for God to hear you. Reach God even from your house. O foolish Galatians who has bewitched you?

We live in a world of mysteries.

The world, creations and existence are beyond the physical and science.

There are happenings beyond human imagination.

Soon she would be declared a saint by the Pope. Hmmmm.

This is a miracle...

Watch as those bandits will insult Christians now ..

I’m catholic and proud

But I will still come out to say this practice is beyond weird and Bizarre.

Why dig up that body in the first place ?!
What story or passage in the scripture are you trying to Justify?

If it’s not kneeling down to sculptures and Images of Gold, it’s digging up body to check their levels of decomposition like say you be skull miner. Isokay

My peace I leave you

BigBlackPreek:

No true Catholic will utter this nonsense..

You don't know anything about Catholic church..
Claiming to be a Catholic to insult Catholics is an outdated style


You don't read your Bible, if you do then you will understand that being incorruptible like this Rev Sister is Biblical..

Acts 2:27
because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

So catholic church is like a cult that no member dares to criticize any activity?
They will start worshipping the body of the nun.

When a scientist, Galileo who was a catholic said that the earth is not flat, the roman catholic church sentenced him for heresy.

While I am still working out time to go view the body of St. Rita of Cascia in italy, 567 years after her death.

Miracle no dey tire Jesus.

humans are very stupid

It was all planned…
Did they dig up all the nuns that died the same year and na only this one no decay?
Why did they just single out this only grave?

But you gangan still beg pastor to put you in prayers.

This is evil and satanic. It's very puzzling that this bizzare thing is happening in a civilised place like the US. People are even allowed to touch it - this is gross.

Might not be scam bro..

I know of a man that was buried for more than 15years ago. His corpse was mistakenly bulldozed cuz construction was going on at that moment in that particular area. The man was still fresh like he was buried yesterday. The white clothings didn’t have any stain!

This was somewhere in osun state..

Thanks are happening

Saint. That soul is on another level. If given more boost, the body will remain fresher...that someone close to the path of the holy one. their body must not fall to the ground nor suffer corruption.

What kind of fraud is this?
