The exhumed body of Saint Padre Pio on display at the San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy - 24 Apr 2008
THOUSANDS FLOCK TO SEE EXHUMED SAINT
Thousands have flocked to see the body of Padre Pio, a saint considered a miracle worker by his devotees, which has been exhumed 40 years after his death aged 81.
Padre Pio is one of the Catholic Church's most popular saints; during his lifetime the Italian monk was said to have had the stigmata, the bleeding wounds of Jesus' crucifixion on his hands and feet.
Pio's body is currently being displayed in a crystal, marble and silver sepulcher in the church - Santa Maria Delle Grazie Church, in San Giovanni Rotondo, southern Italy - where he spent much of his life.
His body was exhumed from its crypt on March 3 as part of celebrations marking the anniversary of his death on Nov 4.
Once exhumed, his body was found to be in "fair condition" and since then a team of medical examiners and biochemists has worked to preserve and reconstruct the corpse.
However, his face has had to be reconstructed using a lifelike silicone mask because his actual face was considered to be too decomposed to show.
According to Catholic tradition, saints' bodies can be exhumed to check their state of preservation and to venerate them as relics.
Some 15,000 devotees attended a Mass before Pio's body went on display; between now and December it is estimated that 750,000 people will file past the glass coffin where his body is being held.
There are about 3,000 "Padre Pio Prayer Groups" in the world, with a membership of three million. Pope John Paul made him a saint in 2002 before one of the biggest Vatican crowds.
However, Pio has been dogged by accusations of fraud, with one book claiming that he used carbolic acid to cause his stigmata wounds.
Church officials have denied all...

Padre Pio is one of the Catholic Church's most popular saints; during his lifetime the Italian monk was said to have had the stigmata, the bleeding wounds of Jesus' crucifixion on his hands and feet. Pio's body is being currently being displayed in a crystal, marble and silver sepulcher in the crypt of the monastery where he spent his life. His body was exhumed from its crypt on March 3 and found to be in "fair condition". Since then a team of medical examiners and biochemists has worked to preserve and reconstruct the corpse. His face has been reconstructed using a lifelike silicone mask because his actual face was considered to be too decomposed to show. Some 15,000 devotees attended a Mass before his body went on display. Between now and December it is estimated that 750,000 people will file past the glass coffin where Pio's body is being held.
