1712 A.D.
53 years after his death, the body of Saint Vincent de Paul was exhumed, and it was discovered that his body was preserved from decomposition aside from his eyes and nose. His body was exhumed again in 1737, and it was found to have decomposed due to an underground flood. His heart and bones however, have remained free from decay. His bones have been encased in a waxen figure which now rests in a glass coffin in the St. Vincent de Paul Chapel in Paris, France. His heart is displayed in a reliquary in the chapel of the motherhouse of the Daughters of Charity in Paris, France.
