Incorrupt Bodies of the Saints

There is a phenomenon in the Catholic Church, that of incorrupt bodies of certain saints. Of these, it is estimated that less than one percent are due to extensive embalming. The church classifies these as relics of the saints. They are unique because they defy the laws of nature. Some bodies are still completely incorrupt, some have begun the normal process of a deceased body while others were incorrupt for years but due to the normal processes (God permitting) they are now buried.
