Dubrovnik, Croatia
At the altar of the Church of Saint Blaise lies the waxy body of a 4th century martyr.
His head is thrown back on the pillow to reveal a bloody gash on his
neck, indicating the means of his martyrdom. Not much is known about St.
Silvan or his history, but his impressive incorruptible body has earned
him a special display.
His face does appear to be created out of wax nor the gash to be
painted, and it is claimed that he has indeed never decayed in the more
than 1500 years after his death.
