Faithful still flock to the incorrupt corpse of the mystic.
The small chapel in the Basilica of San Crisogono holds the mortal remains of Anna Maria Taigi, whose death mask has been wax-cast. Born in Sienna, she moved to Rome at the age of six and went on to marry and have seven children. Known for her charity and religious devotion, she became a Secular Trinitarian in 1802. Her most remarkable holy gift was the “miracle of the mystic globe-sun”; she was said to receive visions from a sun-shaped orb containing images of both past, present, and future events.
