The well-preserved corpse of a 16th-century Catholic saint has been unveiled to the public.
Many devout Catholics were left awestruck when they saw the 440-year-old body of Saint Teresa of Jesus inside a glass coffin in Spain.
The Discalced Carmelite nun’s body was first displayed to the public since 1914 at the Basilica Annunciation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Salamanca province, Spain, on Sunday, May 11.
Although visibly skeletal at first glance, parts of the corpse are said to still be remarkably well-preserved.
Visitors to the Basilica were visibly emotional at the sight of the centuries-old body.
