Saint Teresa of Jesus died 440 years ago in 1582 and was exhumed from a church in August .

Experts were stunned at how well preserved her body was after 440 years .

Images show St Teresa's remains laying in a silver coffin encased in marble, her face still 'clearly visible' and her limbs 'incorrupt' St Teresa is hailed as one of 'God's miracles' due to her near perfect preservation.

The Diocese of Avila has taken stringent measures to protect the saint's remains.

In 1582 , St Teresa was about 67 years old and sick when she set out for Alba de Tormes to visit an old friend.

She grew exhausted and gravely ill and three days later said: 'At last, my daughter, I have reached the house of death' St Teresa's coffin was last opened in 1914 after Father Clemente de los Santos wanted to see the bodies of the founding saints.
