It appears that the remains of St Teresa of Ávila are in the same condition as they were when last inspected in 1914 – incorrupt.
The tomb of the great Spanish doctor of the Church was opened on 28 August in order to facilitate further studies on the saint's remains.
A team of researchers will spend four days studying the body that still rests in the town where the saint died, Alba de Tormes, in northwestern Spain.
Carmelite Fathers Marco Chiesa, postulator general of the Order of Discalced Carmelites, and Miguel Ángel González, prior of Alba de Tormes, verified that the saint's remains are still as they appear in photos from 1914 when the tomb was last opened, reports Spanish media ABC Castilla y León.
