The Saint Who Walks at Night

The Saint Who Walks at Night: Why His Shoes Wear Out On the Greek island of Corfu, there is a mystery that has baffled scientists, skeptics, and historians for over 1,600 years. Saint Spyridon the Wonderworker was a humble shepherd who became a powerful early Christian bishop, but his story didn't end with his death in the 4th century. To this day, his body remains incorrupt and miraculously preserved. Even more shocking? Doctors have confirmed that his remains maintain a constant human temperature of $36.6°C$, and his skin remains as soft as a living person's. But the most incredible phenomenon happens at night. Every year, the monks at his cathedral must replace his hand-embroidered silk slippers because they are found worn through with holes, covered in dust, and stuck with fresh grass. According to ancient tradition, St. Spyridon is still "walking" the island, visiting the sick and answering the prayers of those in need. In this video, we explore:
