All living things on earth are born, grow, age and die, turning “to dust and decay.” But there is such a thing in our life a miracle, like the incorrupt relics of saints that remain unchanged in over the centuries, exude the world, carry a huge power and grant grace to all true believers.
Science did not ignore this phenomenon and tried to give it your explanation. Burial studies conducted in Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, showed that only some bodies were in a state of mummification. The rest were buried, as usual cemetery, and at the same time remained imperishable. So the version atheists that holy relics are imperishable because of their mummification turned out to be false.
Interesting fact: when the Soviet government turned the monastery into museum, holy relics ceased to be myrrh-streaming. However in 1988 part the museum was again handed over to the Orthodox Church (as part of the events, dedicated to the millennium of the baptism of Rus) – and myrrh-streaming resumed.
The fluid released by the bodies of the saints was investigated by co-workers Kiev Medical Institute. It turned out that these selections are inherent living organism! Oily liquid was characterized highly purified oils of protein impurities found in it. By scientists concluded that miro is not a product decay of dead tissues, since the proteins that make up it, are organic. Even using modern technology, it is impossible to synthesize such compounds.
As for the human mind, it seeks to find the scientific an explanation for everything – even a divine miracle. And only the soul the truth is emerging and knows that this is the work of the Creator himself.
