Joan Carroll Cruz’s The Incorruptibles (1977) documents 102 Catholic saints and beati whose bodies remained preserved, fresh, and flexible after death, challenging natural decay. The book categorizes these phenomena as distinct from artificial or natural mummification, arguing they serve as a physical sign of the Resurrection. Detailed case studies of figures like St. Bernadette Soubirous highlight phenomena such as non-decay, fragrance, and the exudation of blood or oil. Purchase the book from TAN Books .
