The bodies of Catholic martyrs and saints were meticulously decorated with precious jewels, pearls and crowns centuries ago and displayed for the poor to worship. Which in no way is a dick move by the Church at all.
Are we sure this isn’t what’s left of Liberace?
Some of them were displayed in rather flamboyant costumes.
Breast plate? Check. Hoop skirt? Check. Pimp cup. Check. Now, who’s ready to get saintly all up in here?
And some were arranged in inexplicably hilarious, come-hither poses.
“How YOU doin’?”
No Faint Hearts in Fort Worth... 
Omg
Navel and nipple ornamentals gone awry?
They made the nuns do it. Bedazzling dead bodies would that be the grossest job ever.
Bling! Nightmares have never been so shiny.
Hahaha! Seriously, at least ONE of those guys has to be Liberace.
