In the video, at first the young woman's corpse looked like a statue with a body covered with wax for preservation and the face showed no signs of decay for 300 years. When the lens turned close to the face, the body seemed to "open its eyes" to look directly at the guest.

Most viewers believe that this is just a fake video staged while some others are confident that the situation is true.

Many different stories about Santa Innocence's death are handed down. According to the most talked about story, Innocence wants to attend a church ceremony with his classmates but is strongly opposed by his father. When asked by the nuns, the girl escaped her father to the church. Detecting her deceitful daughter, her father stabbed her to death.

Admiring the devotion to the God of the young girl, the villagers took the girl's body to the church, performed mummification, placed the body in a glass cage and made the holy. The girl became a symbol of loyalty to God to this day.
