Incorruptibility

Incorruptibility is a Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox belief that Godly intervention allows some human bodies to avoid the normal process of decomposition after death as a sign of their holiness.

The incorrupability may occur in the presence of factors that bolster decomposition, as in the cases of Saint Catherine of Genoa, Saint Julie Billiart, Saint Francis Xavier or the yogi Paramahansa Yogananda.
