Workers reconstructing a church in Husi in northern Romania found the body of a man dressed in the robes of an Orthodox priest. Some Christians believe the bodies of blessed people have a strong pleasant perfume around them because their corpses have been visited by Jesus. Romanian daily Adevarul reports records indicate the body may be that of the priest who consecrated the church in the early 1800s - priest Irimia Hagiu. Alexandru Vijianu, vicar of the Saint Niculai church, said: "The body looks as if it was buried yesterday and what is even more incredible is that it has a wonderful scent of roses. It is possible that we are standing before the discovery of a saint." Story filed: 11:06 Wednesday 9th October 2002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Another saintly soul unrecognized untill he's well and truly long gone. Doesn't Sri Yogananda talk of a perfumed so-called saint in his autobiography? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
