Incorruptible saints

[Leopold]

What do non catholic’s think about the incorruptibly of certain saints? I’m just looking for alternate explanations because I’m not sure how to look at it myself.

Orthodox Christians also have incorruptible saints like St. Spyridon, reposed in 348 ad, was one of the Bishops who participated in the one of the 1st Ecumenical Councils.

Now even though he’s been dead for centuries, he still has to have he’s shoes changed every so often be cause he wears them out at night when he leaves to answer prayers.

My opinion - truly miraculous and amazing! Only possible by the power of God!

For more on saints that have been miraculously saved in whole or in part from corruption, I recommend locating a copy of this book (I happened to snag one at my church’s annual festival):

The Incorruptibles, by Joan Carroll Cruz.

Unfortunately I could not find the book on Catholic.com’s store or Ignatius Books, but copies are available on Amazon.com.

An interesting question and now that you have asked it, I cannot recall ever hearing it or reading about it from protestants as to their point of view. Clearly it is a topic that is not chosen for open discussion given the sarcity of information from protestants. Now you have piqued my interest and I will have to seek an response.

As for myself, God has given mankind many signs over the century’s, and to stop the natural corruption of the body after death, is a remembrance to all of us of His ressurection from death and the promise of our ressurection at the end of time.

I was told by nonCatholics that they do not believe in the incorruptibles because God is going to give us new bodies at the end of the world, *not *before.

**I think that’s actually St. Dionysios of Zanthe.

But incorruptibility in and of itself means nothing. Holiness of life and truth of doctrine are also necessary.

Love of Christ even unto death is also a sign, as is seen with the holy martyrs, many of whom perished by fire.**

I double checked my sources before posting. St. Spyidon is the one I’m talking aboutt; however, it would not surprise me at all that another Saint is also a wonderworker as He is…wearing out the shoes

Has there ever been to your knowledge a case of Incorruptibility for someone who was not holy in life?

St. Anastasia celebrated yesterday was tortured by starvation for 30 days, then taken to sea to be drowned both times she was miraculously saved, but they finally killed her by roasting her over fire. If I were to be martyred I’d prefer a quick beheading!
