The story of Carlo Acutis from Italy

The story of Carlo Acutis from Italy, the 15-year-old European boy who died in 2006 from leukemia, whose body was exhumed years later, surprisingly without decomposing.

The Vatican has already verified several miracles for him and he was canonized on October 10, 2020 by Pope Francis.

Because his body is in good condition 14 years after his death, it has been displayed in a church in the city of Assisi, Italy for the veneration of his faithful; wearing the same pants, sneakers and sweater as when he was buried in 2006.

The most remarkable thing is not his current state but that on the day he died many poor and helpless people came to his funeral, whom he had secretly helped; not even his family knew of his great heart and compassion for the poorest.
