In an extraordinary discovery this week, the coffin of Cardinal Gregorio Pietro XV Agagianian, who passed away in 1971, was opened in Rome, revealing his remarkably preserved body.
Cardinal Agagianian, a significant figure in the Roman Catholic Church, served as the Patriarch of the Armenian Catholic Church from 1937 to 1962 and was a cardinal until his death at the age of 76.
The discovery of his incorrupt body has astonished those present, with witnesses claiming that the Cardinal’s remains appeared as youthful as someone in their 30s or younger, despite having been buried for over half a century.
On September 12, 2024, the Cardinal’s remains were transported from Rome to Beirut, where they will be further venerated by the Armenian Catholic community and the broader faithful.
Cardinal Agagianian, a prominent spiritual leader, played a crucial role in promoting the faith among Armenian Catholics during his time and left a lasting legacy within the Church.
Incorruptibility, often regarded as a sign of sainthood, refers to the unusual preservation of a deceased person’s body, which defies the natural processes of decomposition. The discovery of Cardinal Agagianian’s incorrupt body has sparked conversations about potential causes for sainthood.
Cardinal Agagianian’s life and ministry were marked by his deep devotion to his faith and his influential leadership within the Church. As a patriarch, he guided the Armenian Catholic Church through challenging times and later played a prominent role in Vatican matters, including being considered a papal candidate during the 1958 conclave.
The faithful await further updates from Church authorities on the significance of this discovery, which will likely draw pilgrims and believers from around the world.
