Saint Padre Pio exhumed
Church officials have exhumed the remains of Padre Pio, a hugely popular Italian saint whose body is due to go on public display later this year, officials said yesterday.
Bishop Domenico D'Ambrosio, a Vatican-appointed envoy who oversaw the unearthing on Sunday night, said the body had been well preserved.
