Hi Goanetters, "What does Egyptian mummifying have to do with St. Francis Xavier, who was NOT mummified? Haven't you seen his remains? Had he been mummified his case would not have been considered a miracle. Besides, didn't you earlier say he was preserved because he was stored with the rest of the ship's cargo?"
----- St Francis Xavier's body was not preserved in the ships cargo. The place where he was buried in China on the banks of the river constituted of lime, its the lime content of the soil that was the cause of the preservation. Afra.
