St. Francis of Paola’s relics were disinterred from his tomb at the monastery church in Plessis-les-Tours, France, and burned by French Huguenots (Calvinists) in 1562 during the Wars of Religion. According to historical accounts, when the Huguenots opened his tomb, Francis’s body was found to be incorrupt, even some 55 years after his death.
