Yes, yes, I KNOW St. Kenan appears to be an escapee from a Futuristic Fantasy (with throwback references), but if his body doesn't DECAY, why shouldn't he UPDATE it???
>>> WHAT I'LL DO is paste the passage below, re-punctuating and touching it up a bit -- but I'm not sure it will make PERFECT sense -- and it came from here:

According to the martyrology of Oengus, body Kenan remained without corruption in the grave. This is a day of Cairnech Tuilen came to see. Naturally, we wanted to prepare him a bath.
"It's boring" Kenan said, "- what Cairnech request. The pool is bottomless. . . . Do it and fill you wash."
"Enter into the hot-tub," said Kenan, who does the same.
"How beautiful is this body, OH!" exclaims Cairnech, priest.
"Now, yes . . . but one day!"
"I pray God that it remains well intact until 'the coming of Christ' -- the great judgment," Cairnech said.
"I pray God that it remains well intact until 'the coming of Christ' -- the great judgment," Cairnech said.
From the calendar, Hot Priests (2014 edition), published in Rome, Italy
It is granted. Every year on Holy Thursday, a bishop just cut hair and nails of the deceased. Adamnan, his successor, who wanted to watch the saint's body with curiosity soon lost sight. It was found that -- after a RIGOROUS fast.
Since then, nobody has dared to open the grave!
