odour of sanctity
The odour of sanctity (also spelt odor), according to the Catholic Church, is commonly understood to mean a specific scent (often compared to flowers) that emanates from the bodies of saints, especially from the wounds of stigmata.
==Meanings==
The odour of sanctity can be understood to mean two things:
#An ontological state (a state of being), not usually related to an actual olfactory sensation, indicating that the individual possessing it is in a state of grace (i.e., a state characterized by the absence of mortal sin). Usually refers to the state of an individual's soul at the time of death. Some canonized saints are said to have died in an odour of sanctity.
#An actual odour (scent or aroma) present at the time of death and for some time thereafter.
